The House That John Built.....Take Two

Down at the John Walter Museum, see yesterday's photo for ore info, are the three houses that John Walter built over the time he lived here.
This is house number two which was built in 1886. It is a little larger than the first one. That was needed due to the fact that after moving into this house he got married and started a family. He also used this house for his office for the local businesses he had started up.
Tomorrow I will post the last and largest home he built

He did a great job, especially if he wasn't a builder by profession.

Love the old hand sawed clapboards.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love your pov on this one. What a neat looking house.

[Gena Pegg]

Great capture. Not many windows in that house though. Nice bit of history.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm looking at these backwards so I can see there is a big difference in building style from 3 to 2. It looks like that by the time he built house #3, there was a mill nearby because the siding is even and in this house it still looks like they were hand cut. Great history lesson in building techniques!

[Stephanie Swift]

Love your comp and framing here Brian, and also the texture on both this and the earlier house. Fav for me.
