It's hard to know what to say about this.
It used to be a beautiful Victorian. For many years, it housed the Condra Funeral Home, and for many more years, it deteriorated. The upstairs apartment was where the Funeral Director lived, back in 1977. It was light and breezy up there, and very pleasant.
A real estate person, a lawyer and an architect got hold of it and "renovated" it to its present condition.
I'm glad it has been fixed up, but I hate the way it has been done. It looks so naked without it's lovely porch and that particular shade of green reminds me of pea soup. I have to wonder why they chose it. Hopefully, the act of renovation has preserved the building so that someone, someday, can restore it.
Dayum, that is an awful color.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your RR entries. We have the Howell Bicentennial book here and I can pore over it for hours.
It is completely sanitized, though so I've been half assedly working on a true history of my county.
Yeah, I can't round up enough proof of the dirt I know to be true.
ReplyDeleteDon't want to get sued!
The colour ie especially bad with the maroon trim.
ReplyDeleteI know the real estate person who has bought up a lot of this part of town, and had a large hand in this particular renovation.
Nelson Nagle, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???
Is this supposed to be fashionable, or something?
