European twist

One last home on Monument Avenue that I really liked. An interesting style, and it looks like a single family dwelling, unlike some of the other houses that have been converted to apartments.

*****

On Sunday we went to Richmond, the capital of Virginia and former seat of the Confederacy during the Civil War. We have owned a house here for 30 years but had never made the two-hour drive down there, so took the opportunity to when I had an unexpected day off from work.

Tim wanted to see the confederate statues on Monument Avenue before they're taken down or destroyed or whatever is going to happen to them, and I wanted to see the regional museum's famous collection of Fabergé eggs, both of which we did. There's also a well-regarded botanic garden there, but we just didn't have time to visit. Something for another trip, I guess.

Happy memories, posted earlier:

I love that house in the middle, about which you are so right, it does look very much as if influenced by European architecture. V
