I love it when the Poppies bloom in town ...and they are blooming right now. This batch is on the side of one our historic homes.
This is the front of the Hough/Onley House. built in 1877 by prominent Lake City resident John S. Hough. Mr. Hough built several other buildings in town that are still standing; our bank building and the block of buildings that houses our arts center. When this house was very new, Mr. Hough had a famous house guest. Susan B. Anthony who came to town speaking on women's rights in 1877.
There is an addition that was added to the house on the north side.
We have a large historical district in our little town. You can pick up a map of the area at the Welcome Center. Forty something of our homes and structures have historical plaques...telling the history of each place. So grab your straw hat and stroll at your leisure.

Have a nice Monday!
The poppies are spectacular. Their color and gently waving motion add a great deal to the atmosphere. Snappy looking little house!
ReplyDeleteKate,
DeleteThat little house is actually a rental cabin. Part of a tourist court. Most of our accommodations in town are made up of these vintage type places.
sure is pretty! and every morning i hope to read the fires are under control. and every morning it sounds worse!
ReplyDeleteZero per cent containment. We need rain. So remote up here. No lives or even structures have been lost. They have so far saved the little town of South Fork.
DeleteThat house in background of the next to last pic looks fine. Any chane we get a pic of it full on?

Those poppies look great. No fires reached you yet. I wish I could send you some of our rain, we get so bored of the water.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh me too. A nice steady rain would be the answer to our prayers. No fire here yet. At least 40 miles away. We will leave at the first sign.
ReplyDeleteque bonito!
