Welcome to the Last Dollar Inn at Cripple Creek, Colorado! This unique property is actually a two-for-one – a 1901 brick home and a newer (1997) Victorian style wood frame house. The old brick two-story is the Inn section… The newer part of the house is the owner’s living quarters… Here are the conjoined h...House-peeping in Cripple Creek, Colorado

Let’s all go to Cripple Creek! That is the tag-line for the most politically incorrectly named town in all of the Colorado. Cripple Creek is an old Victorian era gold mining town located about an hour from I live in central Colorado. It has a dazzling array of Victorian homes from the 1880s through the 1910s, [...]...The sad story of the Valentine’s Day house

I had seen it pictured around the web and on other house blogs so I looked up the original photo on Fickr because, hey, I thought it was so cute and wanted to know where it was located. I found ou...Built for a sea captain’s wife…

You may have heard of Boldt Castle before. It is located in the Thousand Islands region of the Saint Lawrence River, along the New York state side. On Heart Island, in fact.

Pink is, in fact, a historic house color. Yes it is. Don’t be a Doubting Thomas – I researched this statement before posting. If you think I’m full of it, then check out the historic paint color links at the bottom of this post. So then, let’s have a look: 1. The Frederick W. Neef House The Frederick W.

One of the most searched terms on my blog is “John Denver’s House“. I did a post a while back called Starwood in Aspen - about a home near John’s house in Aspen, Colorado that was for sale - but not John Denver’s actual house.

I’m always on the lookout for funky, head-turning homes, so when I saw this sculpted interior on Houzz.com, I was captivated.

Well I don’t actually live right next door. The mortuary is one parking lot and one old-house-turned-doctor’s office over from my house. Usually the mortuary staff are very discreet. But the other day when I was pulling out of the back alley (where I park), I saw them unloading a body from a big truck. I tried not [....
