So the other day we were out driving in a part of our city named Highlands. It was developed starting around 1910 -1914. Two developers were partners in building so many of the homes in this neighbourhood.
One of the men was Bidwell Holgate. This is his home which he built in 1913 at a cost of $49,000. The family lived here until 1920 when they moved into a much smaller and modest home a couple of blocks away.
When we were looking at this house we both thought that it looked like a gingerbread house. So with the festive season upon us I felt it would be nice to share
What a lovely house....back in those times $49000 would be a lot of money! Wonder if they fell on hard times and that is why they moved to smaller quarters.
A full size gingerbread house! Beautiful shot.
I wonder if the owners have used such a photo for their Christmas cards in the past. It couldn't be more perfect.
@pyrrhula Well maybe you don't make them over there. At Christmas we make a dessert that is made from gingerbread. We bake sheets and use them to build houses and then decorate them with candies etc.

What do you mean with : a gingerbread house ? My dictionary gives no answer/solution
