A short while back I posted some views of a home in NE Portland that I really liked. I revisited the home this past week to capture some of the details of the house that draws me in. From leaded windows to dental molding I think it is an interesting structure that someone put some extra thought and time into.

One of my Favorite

Located on a corner lot this house is one of my favorites. Next time I will get closer to show some of the details.

Entrance Door

Alameda St., in NE Portland, is a pretty posh neighborhood. I guess posh does not exclude being a bit different? The entrance door reminds me of a checker board. I am not sure why someone would place a life-size replica of a jockey on their property.

Too Many?

: Architectual Oddity

Seems like the builder may have ordered too many cornices so they were just attached in a spot few would see. From a design standpoint it looks a bit odd.
