STUNNING CHANGES FOR HISTORIC HOME!

wow! Never noticed this house before? It sits smack in the middle of the historic district on the main thoroughfare, North "I" Street. You might not have noticed it before as, it was light grey with white pillars and trim. Probably the most distictive feature about this house was the plaster casted detail at the top of the house. The castings were ribbons and bows that draped around the entire house's second story.

The castings were raised and painted navy blue, as was the front door. Yes...it was a distinctive historic home but now...WOW! It's about to become one of the most recognizable historic structure in the North Slope District! Ok....in my opinion. The horrible weather rolled in before the painting of the house could be completed but, upon completion the ribbons and bows will be painted black, along with the front door and all of the white balasts/railings and trim will be crisp antique lace, white.

There was some opposition from a couple of "North Slopers" who cringed at the thought of "RED." But red is a funny color. It was imperative that the paint was exactly the right shade of red. After 3 test patches on the side of the house, and the revival of the next door neighbor, the perfect shade was achieved. Understand that the body (the part of the house that is the actual structure, not to include balcony's, porches, railings trim) of the house is the only part painted red and the color was approved of with the thought in mind that the balcony's, porches, railings, trim would all be white and offset the boldness of the red.

WELL DONE! It's the perfect balance and an absolute fairytale house!
