Our New House
This is our new house. Although it was built in 1920, architecturally it is part of the late Victorian "Dutch Colonial Revival" style. Note the really great columns. We are going to try to restore the exterior to its original colors and details. I've done some research and most of these houses were painted pale yellow or green, with dark contrasting trims. They also usually had a railing around the porch between the columns. Here is an example of a restored house from the same time period:The new house is technically in Germantown, although it is only about a block away from Original Highlands. For those of you who have been to visit, we are a block or two behind Lynn's Paradise Cafe.

This home has my stamp of approval. Excellent choice! I envision a fall visit to try out my new guest bedroom.
