Hi Mike,
Those are lovely homes. You're right, they don't make them like that anymore.

Crystal,
The details in the overhangs and the porches on the first one are among my favorites.
Janice,
That sense of history reinforces the character of beautiful old homes, doesn't it?

Yvette and Dennis,
The WORST reason to go into real estate is, "I love looking at houses."
But...I DO love looking at houses. :D

Sharon,
The first one is a fine dining establishment now. It is a real landmark. You can see the Clarion Hotel, formerly the Holiday Inn, aka, A"The Hair Curler" next to it, and the condo tower in the left background.
We are talking diversity in architectural styles there!

Me too. And this afternoon, I am even going out and look at a few examples of the real thing. Not like anything in the photos, though...

Architecture is one of my favorite things, Mike. Thank you so much for sharing these photos. I love the details in Victorian homes. They definitely DON'T build 'em like that anymore.

That's quite a departure from the miles and miles of frame and stucco we have here in southern Nevada. Maybe I'll need to go on a hunt in the valley and see what I can find.

You are quite welcome! It is like a vacation from "Tract-built Land."

No EIFS in 1890, right?
