For my Wednesday Walk, I decided to take a stroll on the Southside of the town where I live. The Southside is part of the historic area of my town.
Many of the homes in this street have pumpkins, mostly to signal trick or treaters that the homes are open to them on Halloween night. It is so unlike the newer neighborhoods like mine, where the exterior of homes are decked with the whole gamut of Halloween decor.
This home, one of the oldest in this town, was built in 1868 by a farmer who moved from Michigan after selling his 320-acre farm near this place. I met the current owners at Church. They've lived here since 1994. The facade and the interior are not in their original condition. They told me that in the 1920s the front windows were expanded on both levels and the front door was moved.
This house received the town's Heritage Home award in 1999.
About 30 pumpkins of various sizes adorn the front steps.
This next home is not as far back in on the property as the first one.
We can get a closer look at the pumpkins that are of different shapes and variety, and some are painted in the style of Jack-a-lantern.
Up next is an Italianate Victorian style home built in 1878.
Pumpkins line the steps, and the front columns of this home are of Doric motif.
This is the only remaining example of a Second Empire style residence with its characteristic Mansard roof house in this town. It was built in 1882. The first owner of this house came west as a miner and later went into farming.
A simple display of pumpkins. Very nice!
A Queen Anne style house that was built in 1890, this house received the town's Heritage Home award in 1990. The house stands virtually as built.
There is just one pumpkin on each side of the house entrance.
Another late version of the Queen Anne style home with elements of Colonial Revival. It is a picturesque home that received the town's Heritage award in 1989.
Again, lots of pumpkins to welcome visitors on Halloween night!
On my next Wednesday Walk, I shall show you some of the homes on the Northside of town!
