Thursday is "This Old House Day"

[click image to enlarge]

Stein & Applebaum, a well-known local building company, erected this large Tudor revival residence at 390 Adams Street in 1931 for $15,000. The Tudor Revival was one of the popular eclectic revival styles of the first quarter of the 20th century. This is one of three fine examples of this style located on historic Adams Street. I like the arched doorway and beautiful setting of this old house.

Looks like something out of a story book.

A fine example indeed and beautifully landscaped.

I have to say, coming from the UK, there is always something about 'mock Tudor' that looks a bit naff; but that's the house not the photo.
