Wednesday Walk: Historic Homes of My Town Make Me Smile

Continuing on from last week's Wednesday Walk, these are three of several beautiful homes on the Southside of my town.

This Italianate style home with Corinthian motifs is typical of the most popular style of Victorian architecture in this town in the 1870s. The house was built in 1875

The first owner was originally from Missouri and move to this town where he became a successful farmer and rancher. Mr. Hunt was a large shareholder of the town's Bank and was president of the county winery.

The house was restored by the current owners in 2000, and have been featured on Restore America and in the magazine Victorian Decorating. It received the town's Heritage Home award in 2001.


Next is a three-story Georgian Colonial Revival style home that was built in 1905 by a San Francisco architectural firm.

The home has been in the same family for 70 years and has remained unchanged in original design.

The house received the town's Heritage Home award in 1990.


Finally, is a true gem in the heart of my town. This home has been designated State Historical Landmark #864. The house also received the town's Heritage Home award in 1986.

This Victorian Mansion is one of the great homes of the era in the United States. It has been described by an eminent art historian as "an outstanding example of Stick Vernacular and a locally unique variant of the Stick style Victorian architecture in vogue in the 1880s."

The Victorian mansion was built in 1885 and this grand home has been refurbished and restored by the current owners.

Now that’s my kind of architecture bestie. Lovely homes, must’ve been a great walk.

They are beautiful! I can't afford to live in any of these homes. And my gosh, house maintenance of a new home like mine is already up there, much more for these kinds of homes. I had a great walk, bestie, and I share it with you through these photos. Have a beautiful evening, and take care. 😍😘🌺🤙

These Victorian type of homes are so good 👌value must be quite high.

I live is a home customized to my taste but I still consider a "track home". I got it in 2017 and it was over half a million dollars. I would think that these Historic homes are in the millions. Have a wonderful day, @clitadias, and Take care 🌺🤙.

I've always loved Victorian homes and architecture; it is one of my favorite styles.

When my mom and I were living in Venice, California, there was a great Victorian home nearby, and we used to joke that we'd love to buy it and do it up in early Charles Addams (creator of the Addams Family cartoons, which ran for years in The New Yorker, upon which the later series and films were based).

We weren't really kidding.

My dad's grandfather built a gorgeous Victorian home in east Texas, in 1902, and shortly after my divorce in 2005, I thought seriously about buying it . . . but another offer was accepted before I got the chance.

But I'd still love to have a home of that vintage. The workmanship alone from that period is remarkable.

Wonderful post. Thank you.

Oh my!!! Can you imagine if you got the Victorian home which great, great grandfather built?!!!! That would have been an unparalleled acquisition! 😮Wow!!! 😮 Just the thought of it is epic💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻! Thank you for sharing that detail in your family’s life! From Texas to California and back!
I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment, my dear @crescendoifpeace. Have a lovely week, and take care😍😘🌺🤙

Yeah, we're in Middle Tennessee now, and our county seat of Sparta has some really gorgeous Victorians, as well as having some closer to Doyle, where we live.

Unfortunately, my husband is NOT into vintage homes, and absolutely does not want to live in one. Damn.

Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy them as eye candy for now. ;-)

I hear that restoring and refurbishing a Victorian can cost more than an arm and a leg, LOL! We may be the same as the romantic types... but certainly, your great great grandfather's house has seen much in terms of history. I wonder what the walls would say if they could talk!
Yeah... these homes are definitely eye candy 👀!
