Thursday is "This Old House Day"

[click image to enlarge]

This "Prarie Bungalow" style house at 355 Highland Avenue in the Wollaston section was built in 1913, for Frank Burgess, owner of Boston Gear Works, for a mere sum of $14,000. I like the red tile roof. This style house is very unusual for Quincy. A second "Prarie Bungalow" house, built in 1925, is located across the street.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
