Thursday is "This Old House Day"

[click image to enlarge]

This impressively sited Colonial Revival Georgian house sits square on its high site on President's Hill. It was probably built in 1915 by a Morton T. Swallow. It is a particularly fine and imaginative example of this architectural style; one of the best in this neighborhood filled with with Colonial Revival houses. I especially enjoy the setting and symmetry of 105 Presidents Lane and glad I don't have to mow this lawn.
