We came across this farm today in our ramblings...imagine having a farm that has been in your family for well over a hundred years. I wonder if they have any old writings, records from those first years.
This trim is what first caught my eye. I guess it is all a little unique, but this really is like no other that I have seen.
Do you see the kitty in this picture? Enlarge it and look in the window...there s/he is laying on the back of a couch watching me.
This front porch is just magnificent in my opinion. I wonder if the people that live there ever have time to sit out there and enjoy it. It doesn't look very used to me.
And I had to add the overall view...I sure think it is a beauty!
What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe trimwork all over the house is just wonderful!
I'd love to see inside. If it's that lovely outside I bet the inside is too with period furniture.
Wow ! Awesome architecture !
ReplyDeleteMust cost a fortune to maintain.
That is a beautiful farm house. We have a century farm down the hill from us. In fact our road is named after them.
ReplyDeleteThat is a genuine treasure...and you got to capture it in a fine series. that porch is like nothing I've ever seen. Excellent place to shoot.
ReplyDeleteThat whole place is magnificent...they've done a marvelous job of restoring it...I'll bet it didn't look anywhere near that good when it was first built...I like everything about it!
ReplyDeleteKudos to Illinois for recognizing a farm that has been in a family for a century or more! This farm is in extremely good shape!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details on this old house! It is in amazing condition. Obviously the family takes pride in their heritage.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful old house. The frill work is absolutely beautiful. I hope this farm stays in the family for another 100 years.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful and I do see the cat! :)
ReplyDeleteCool gingerbread/fretwork here--a lovely old house! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI bet they have lots of wonderful records and stories about the house. I love that fancy gingerbread trim! So unique with the birds. I couldn't see the cat. These are great photos. YOu really find the most special places.
