Acute, Quite

Love this building. It is so creatively built on its lot; the facade runs parallel to Walnut Ave, but the sides do not run perpendicular to the street (since Walnut itself is at an angle across the street grid). I'll have to see if I can get a pic from the alleyway, see if the whole building is a parallelogram.
It must be very odd looking inside the upper rooms, without having square corners.
The window framing and roof parapet look to be all formed tin, which is nice since it lasts so much better than wood, but the building has fallen into disrepair and cannot be appreciated properly.

twin on Washington

You'll have to pardon the quality of the image (I used my phone instead of my camera), but I don't even think a better resolution would improve the looks of this one.

This is a neglected twin up on Washington St. The aluminum siding is (mostly) white; the blue second floor on the right house is the original color, having been sprayed white (I guess they ran out of paint and figured, "pfft, who cares?")

At least it's all coordinated. The '60's-era aluminum awning replaces what was once surely a wooded setup complete with turned posts, maybe even full width. Fake shutters (on the left, at least) complete the 'look'.

I'm still new to this blogging, and I'm coming up with new thoughts and ideas on what place it will serve me, and eventually/hopefully some followers. I hope to post a new feature at least once a month, maybe more frequently. Thre are SO many building I want to include, I just need to get out there and get the photos!
