my neighbourhood favourites

I absolutely love living and an old historic neighbourhood.  Although my architectural preferences lean more towards the modern end of the spectrum, there is something about old Edwardian homes that I can not get enough of.  This home just around the corner from me is my favourite by far.  I can just imagine the house at the turn of the century hosting lively parties and welcoming it's wealthy owners home.  Despite it's simple form and shape, the house is quite detailed with intricate stone and wood accents and the scale and mass of the home are simply impressive.

This is not from the home above, but another one just down the street.  This is the window detail - they just don't make homes like this anymore.
