I tried to look up some information about this house, but Google sites named a number of places around town, and none gave the information I was looking for. Here in town, however, this house has the official designation, and another historic plaque as well. The house now sits right on the sidewalk of Montague street, on the edge of the shopping district. It's not as distinctive looking as the "newer" Victorian homes, but it should be included in the town tour. I have more views of the front & back of the house here http://365daysintheyear.shutterfly.com/1530
Once more we had dinner with friends and we welcomed back our Australian friends, Enid & Gordon who've just arrived for the summer. Their son, Nigel, was along from his home in Dover, NH. And to give an idea of the international flavour of the gathering, our hosts are originally from Cape Town, South Africa, by way of Newfoundland.
Around here, we're known as CFAs...Come From Aways!
Won't be making it to Lunenburg this year, (at this point, anyway...), so I'll have to wait it out to share a bag of peanuts with you and the squirrels at Mile Square Park this fall.
With each photo...I want to visit Lunenburg even more. I've never really traveled that much but this is now one of the places I would love to visit someday.
I saw a commercial today from Cisco that featured Lunenburg! (I'm sure you've been told this already by many others as well!) But how cool! I simply found it ironic that I now know of this lovely place thanks to you! Otherwise it would have been another commercial I would have never paid attention to! And this sure is a lovely old home...Home there seem to be like a fine wine...they just get better with age!
I love the style of the house as well as the colours. It's got such character ... I agree with you, a house as old and interesting as this should be included in a town tour.
Re: your comment on Kay's photo, about 5 monkey's jumping on the bed. Too Funny, because yesterday I sent her this link: http://365project.org/photomom2010/365/2010-06-03 and said it triggered an image of her boys jumping on the bed.
Again, more wonderful architecture. This is deceptively "cute" in the front then magnificent in the back. It reminds me of the homes in Pacific Palisades. From the front they look like cottages, but they are built on the hillside and the back of the house is usually 3-stories and mostly glass with a view all the way to the ocean.
Louise - I have 10 different color pallets on my IR camera. Yes it did cost a few bucks but I am getting my money's worth, not for it intended purpose, but for this project. I plan on using it more during the winter, or in cooler weather, to conduct heat efficiency surveys of houses. I bought it for my side business but have not had to opportunity to use it yet.
Night night. smoked salmon was really good and guests are well accustomed to me taking photographs.... I was with them in their house in Turkey! Lots of food pictures.
yes Louise, re your comment, working downtown does give me the opportunity to take photos of some amazing sculptures and buildings. one thing that's definitely missing living in the "burb" :)
I just love this quaint little place! The colours, and the chipping paint on the door. Red and white and grey are so effective, aren't they.
A little heads up just for you, My Friend....
In a round about way, I have managed to post a pic or 2 of Kyle today, who really hates it when I take his picture, which I have to respect...and why I haven't posted one, thus far.
I hope he forgives me this one! ;-)
OH, I so get the fridge magnet story!
That's all that my kids bring me back, from their travels!
But I have to admit that I have tucked most of them away recently ( but close by, in the cupboard beside the fridge, or stuck on the side which you can't see ), because my favourites seemed to always fall off and break.
Kelsey and I discovered for some reason that magnets in Europe and magnets in North America are not quite the same. Stronger magnetic pulls in one place over the other, perhaps? I don't know.
But what's funny, is that when we met Ian's parents for the first time at THIER home in England, they had a fridge covered in magnets, too.
So, there you go.
We should start a club! ;-)
Anyway...further confession...those pics are actually taped on, so they won't fall. Hee
I think Lunenburg should pay you money because you are doing such a good advertisement. Soon there will be some hundreds of photographers taking pictures of sights and people's homes:)
Was this house owned by Germans? I was just wondering as the "Ältestes Haus" is German. Maybe immigrants.
Wonderful pic. I really love to see photos of this beautiful town.
