Beautiful street.What I like is that the homes fit the landscape (ie old and original) as opposed to some of the new fab "McMansions" I've seen go up over here.
At least in the older parts of St. Louis, it's common for the entrance to be several steps higher than the sidewalk, just like here. I sometimes wonder why that was done, and how.
Love the elegance of Hartford's neighborhoods. Thanks for stopping by. (And I'm looking forward to seeing your hydrangeas next year!)
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooo quiet! Is Girard a french name?
ReplyDeleteA lovely street. I really like the big, old homes, just glad I don't have to heat them!

ReplyDeleteThere is some serious square footage in these houses. I hope they are well insulated for winter.

ReplyDeleteLovely old homes. I really like the way the lighting and fall colors in that second shot really enhance the peacefulness of the street.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful houses and streets. the sloping yards in the second photo remind me of some of the homes in the town I grew up in, Quincy Illinois.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that Mellencamp song... in the West End. I like it.

ReplyDeleteThere certainly are a lot of wood-sided homes down there!
ReplyDeleteThese houses are so small! :-))
ReplyDeleteBut still very beautiful.
One of my favourite 'likes' is looking at houses. These are so lovely and so many porches!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Great looking neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteHow very posh. And a posh street name too.
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant town. The houses are so tastefully fancy, with their gables, pillars and porches.
