If These Walls Could Talk Continued...

Today's Offering: 331 East Main Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37130

A beautifully restored Victorian.  I'm brand new to figuring out exactly what flavor is involved.  Perhaps those of you who are "old hats" in the historic architecture department will enlighten me.  The fancy windows, though, kind of give me a feel of Early Colonial Revival, but I don't think the front door has side lights, which, I understand, was pretty much the norm for that particular style.  Maybe she's just a mixed up, pup?  (laughing)  Whatever her bloodline is, though, the final result is quite lovely!  I wish there were more photos of the outside of this damsel other than the one that's listed.  Makes me wonder if there's something off about the lot.  In my book, at least in this regard, more is ALWAYS better.

Taken At, What, Dusk?

The Stained-Glass Window (Seen To the Left of the Front Door In the Above Photo)

Front Parlor (love the light from those beautiful windows combined with the buttery shade of the walls)

Formal Dining Room

Master Bedroom

Bathroom One  (love the French toile on the sink.)

Kitchen (black and white theme carrying over from bath, I suppose.  nice light fixture)

Informal Dining Area?

Bedroom Two (judging by windows right over the parlor)

Bedroom Three (smiling at rug)

Bathroom Two

Family Room

Fireplace Detail (not sure where this one resides.  master bedroom, maybe?)

As I said above, I'd dearly love to see more pictures of the outside of this house.  I'd, also, like to see what the grand stairway (generally displayed to great effect in such homes) looks like.

If These Walls Could Talk...

I adore old houses.  I don't recall the exact moment the romance began, but it must have been very early in my childhood because all my earlier recollections are associated with scents and sounds, and when I think of old houses my mind immediately jumps to the smell of a smokehouse and the sound of small feet running across a hardwood floor.  So, naturally, this blog will often become sickeningly rhapsodic from time to time when I see a breathtaking example of our country's earlier architecture.  Today, I want to bring to your attention one such example.  This fine old gal, perhaps of the Italianate persuasion with a little "Queenly" air, is up for sale... makes me wish I had a yen to live in Pulaski. (laughing)
