Erskineville, house

    1. Yes, it's quite hidden over spring and summer, William.

  3. I am always thrilled when the name of the home, in this case Hillsborough Terrace, is inscribed in the centrally located pediment. I cannot see if the date was also inscribed, but that too adds to the historical significance.

    1. I can't tell whether it's on there in this shot. I'll have to check next time I go to nearby Newtown.

  4. It looks lovely...and it looks like it has a lot of history behind it.

  5. Victorian Filigree looks like it would be very much at home in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Have a blessed Ruby Tuesday.

  6. We have a Hillsborough in North Carolina. It's full of contrasts - everything from trailer parks to historic homes.
    Take care, have a great week, and know that I always appreciate your visits to our weekly photo link-up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/

  7. Interesting style of home. The filgree fence railing is quite nice. Also liked the green colored fence in front of the building.

  8. Hi Jim — long time no see. I was away from my blog for quite some time, and I miss it and the friends I made online. I'm back, and I hope I'm back to stay. I always enjoyed your photos.

  9. Reminds me of a house you'd find in New Orleans. or maybe Savannah, Georgia. What a great name to tack to the house at well.
