John Palmer House

On August 15, 2013 By Fred KingIn Architecture, buildings, Houses, Nikon D7000, Portland, Urban Decay3 Comments

Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.

Not exactly as impressive as the ‘Painted Ladies‘ across from Alamo Park in San Francisco, but that is what came to mind as I walked by these houses on Albina St. in NE Portland.

If you can afford it, copper is a nice touch that ages well.

Red Vespa & Field

This open space, adjacent to Alberta Street, which is highly commercial, seemed kind of odd to me. I mostly like the clouds, I think. The Vespa obsession continues :-).

Back to Brooklyn, for a moment. This is The Old Stone House located in J.J. Byrne Park on 5th Ave. The park was recently renovated and attracts many Park Slope Parents and their children.

Interesting wrought iron work and a small section of a quiet street in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood.

It’s pretty rare to see a shake-sided house these days.

About the only time we see the rays of the sun in the Pacific NW is as an architectual detail.

The Shock of the New

On June 14, 2012 By Fred KingIn buildings, Houses, Nikon D7000, Signage, ThoughtsLeave a comment

Modernity vs Classical: A new design with mixed materials, seemingly in conflict with each other and an older design face-lifted with new materials, but in my opinion. in harmony.

Wisteria

Wisteria-envy! I would love to have a large, covered porch draped with purple wisteria. Even the vines are wonderful the way they wrap around everything, including themselves.
