⚠️⚠️PERFECT MID CENTURY TIME CAPSULE FOR SALE!⚠️⚠️
So, there's a dream house for sale on the 7th Street side of Garden Court. My husband and I actually walked through it twice, once with a loan pre-approval in hand. But after much consideration, it is not the home for us (our home is for us, it turns out). So I need to share this here because someone who appreciates, loves, and cares for old homes needs to buy this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime house. If someone replaces those windows it will ruin everything and I will die from regret.
My latest in the @eriereader this month is all about the long-lived Erie legend of Axe Murder Hollow. I dug into the legend, followed some clues and went down some super creepy, true crime rabbit holes. I also came up with a totally new theory of the origin of the legend, based off the life story of a man who once lived in the hollow.
Leaving the Land Lighthouse a couple weeks ago, this unique 1921 Craftsman bungalow at the foot of Hess caught my eye. What a special house with those chunky columns, stacked beams and exposed rafter tails, THAT ROOFLINE, the little vestibule, the windows. It's super cool.
Hot damn! Hidden gem on W 8th just went up for sale and LOOK INSIDE! OOOOOh It's so pretty! It's all dreamy, what with the woodwork and built ins and ceiling coffers and stained glass but that bathroom is my standard ideal of bathrooms.
Come on down to Porch Fest 2021 and ogle at this 1901 beauty while you listen to fellow @eriereader contributor @tommylinkinc on this gorgeous afternoon in the West Bayfront! The full map of all the houses and performers is at the link in my bio!
