Hello, Hivers! I thought I'd get this one early as I am always late to the party.
Wednesday Walk challenge is hosted by @tattoodjay in collaborating with the Make Me Smile hosted by @elizacheng.
We shall continue with our Wednesday Walk through our town. It's pretty shady in this part of town. Let's look at another Heritage Home.
Built in 1890, this Queen Anne cottage's first owner was Frank Nelson, a county farmer. Upon his death in 1896, the house passed to his brother, who sold the house to the newly elected County Sheriff James Monroe.
During the 1920s, a large 6-car garage (still in use) was built behind the house for James Monroe's Model T Ford collection. James Monroe remained Sherrif for 28 years until he retired in 1938, and his son Forrest Monroe was elected to the post.
Forrest held his Sherrif post for 32 years. His wife, Mary Monroe, lived in this house until her death in 1972 in her 90s. The house is very pretty... not imposing at all.
This Queen Anne cottage has a sitting porch covered by a rounded roof. The climbing vine provides additional shade from the afternoon sun.
Like many of the Victorian era homes, this house has a side entrance that is used by guests in a more formal setting. There is a room in the basement measuring 7 feet by 10 feet, which was originally used by the Nelson's cook.
It has a gabled square bay window on the front facade. Christian & Carolyn Jorgensen purchased the home in 1974. Carolyn has added to the original stained glass window and has kept the additional windows in period styling.
What a lovely home. It makes you smile!

I used Pinmapple to pin this post to the world map using a code generated at Pinmapple to mark the place where I traveled and took these photos.
It is so cool! You should try it!

I just adore old homes that have the Victorian style. Edwardian and Queen Anne are so nice yet have their own distinctiveness. Watermarked and stained glass windows are a must. One of the reasons why I feel that I was born in the wrong era. So many things of that era resonates with me.
To Travel in time in my imagination.
Always, with love 🤗 🌺 💖

I think You !LUV The Roses Ms. Saver @silversaver888
Hahaha, you got me there @stokjockey!
The rose bushes actually attracted me to this house.
But I also wanted to share the story.
The garages of these homes are located at the back, and there is an alley that lead to it.
I wish I had the time to take more photos!
You Did Great Honey, Very Impressive Photos and Really such a Beautiful Property Ms. Saver @silversaver888
All properties here are in great shape.
I never did research how much they are.
! bet they are pricey @stokjockey.
Thanks, @pixresteemer!
Ah! I was just commenting elsewhere how much I love long walks. Especially picturesque ones. Keep up the good work here.
Don't you just love it!
Especially when there are so many trees to give you shade...
And nice homes to look at!
Thank you, @movement19, for the visit!
I like the rounded porch and the wood work on the railings. That Wisteria looks like its going crazy! That stuff can get out of hand quick unless they trim the heck out of it.. lol.
Those side steps should not be used after an evening of drinking.. 😆
I think they want the Wisteria to go crazy! I'll go back to take photos when they are in bloom.
It is lovely with all the violet, looking like grapes, flowers!
Hehehe... especially when you do not want to call attention to yourself,
those stairs will be helpful... 😆!
Oh Boy! I am looking forward to that picture. It is so pretty when it blooms.. that's for sure. The vines can be a real pain though.
Hahaha.. Those Stairs.

A beautiful house, well maintainedand in what looks like a quiet neighbourhood. Wonderful!
Yes, they are well maintained and such a quiet neighborhood!
You can go to the entire town and it is like this.
When the kids are out it is much prettier!
😊👍
I love these posts you do showing these historic houses, a time gone by but clearly not forgotten here
Love the windows in these old places they had such style back then
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
The current owners maintain the houses' like pristine!
I don't think they have the desire to change anything.
.. if they did, they'd buy where I am... where the homes are just 3 years old.
This one was but 1890! Would you believe it is still existing! All of them are still in existence!
Thank you, @tattoodjay!
I love it when you come.
It's like having my older brother check on me.
That’s great
I will try and visit more regularly these days 👍🙂👍
I would love that very much.

Thanks, @pinmapple!
super charming this house fascinated me and even more the history it carries with it.
Isn't it fascinating!
I featured it because of its history!
Imagine... this house was occupied by the family from the time it was built in 1890 till 1972!
Truly fascinating!
Thanks for coming, @susamusic.
Nice victorian house
Hi @orlandumike!
Have a great biking day!
I had a hike instead yesterday, but it's still a nice effort when climbing nearly 1000 meters ;)
My, what a climb!
Take care, @orlandumaike
