lovely old house

This graceful old house anchors a corner in the Bella Vista neighborhood of East Oakland.  Love that oval hallway window.  Oakland has tons of old and pre-1906 earthquake houses.  The skies are still blue and dry.  The temperature reached 75 today.  Hardly a typical winter, and a harbinger of drought.  Linked to Skywatch Friday.

    What an elegant old beauty! The pale grey with white trim is perfectly lovely.

    That is a wonderfully cared for old home. Nice to see. I always like to see the use of several colors too.

    So strange...I'm visiting friends in the Tampa area and it as near freezing last night. After six months in India, I am cold intolerant. I'm staying with my son, DIL, and grandbaby in West Sac for a few months and it is REALLY cold at night up there. It's always good to get home to the Bay area, though, and I love the old houses.

    My SWF is of the wolf moon.

    This house is lovely. It would easily fit into the streetscape of Prospect Avenue in Hartford and West Hartford.
