twin Victorians

Around the corner from yesterday's mural are these two Victorian houses.  Although they are now duplexes, they retain their classical features and elegant lines.  They both need refurbishing but are still beautiful pieces of turn of the century architecture.  Oakland continues to have a huge number of Victorian-era houses still in use.

  2. They should have moved that car when they saw you coming with the camera! Nice old buildings.

  4. Neat homes but require a lot of upkeep. I'm too lazy these days.

  6. These two houses look pretty good for their age. I have a yellow Victorian queued up for tomorrow, too.
