South Grand Dame/ Thursday Doors

Another trip to the various appointments this week kept me a little busy. But I happily note that one trip was to the post office to deliver a Hexi Table Runner to mail! I hope they love it!

Upon returning home, we drove a few different streets than our norm. The end of one street had the following lovely old ‘Dame’ sitting front and center at the stop sign. Today I present 424 South Grand in it’s dazzling, Italianate splendor. It was built in 1881 and is part of the Victorian Towers neighborhood. According to a local “2021 Victorian Towers Historic Architectural Survey”, it is considered the best example of the Italianate style in our city.

The Door

I really admire the yellow and blue color combination on this wonderful old home. The trees shading it seem to make it look so inviting. A porch like that one is beckoning me to sit and hang out with my iced tea! Hope you are encouraged with these doors to click the link to Dan’s @NoFacilities where you will find even more wonderful doors from around the world!

  3. Lovely doors. That table runner is amazing. I can’t imagine the work involved in putting that together. I once did a business graphic with hexagons and I had trouble managing the process in Adobe Illustrator, where I could copy, paste and move things around with a mouse! Great job!

  4. Great photos of a grand house. I love the color, the porch and how the trees add to the home’s charm. Thank you for the historical context. I love to learn about architecture. The houses of the Victorian era have a unique softness of style and symmetry, I feel.
