A New Fence

One of our Victorian age homes in this small town, needed a new fence.
Since the home is within our Historic District, the owners had follow certain guidelines. The fence had to be made of wood and not a plastic composite  which is widely used these days.
The Queen Anne style  home was completed 1893, and  the first home here, in Lake city, to have electric lights. When first installed it is said they they kept them on day and night.....so everyone could see.

  6. I love old victorian homes like that. It's good that they had a certain standard for the new fence. I hope they paint it though.

  7. Lovely fence. Glad I don't have to be the one to paint it! Makes me think of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn!

  8. Ha! That's an interesting story about the owners who first installed electric lights! I hope they leave the fence natural so no one has to paint it.
