American Dream: A Grand Old House

American Dream: To Live in One of These Favorite Houses of Mine

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

These are some of my favorite all-time houses, all located in Stonington, CT. I took these pictures as dusk fell.

Say, if you like my blog, would you RT it? Thanks!

This is a grand old place on the town square. It has the writing room I need, interesting rooflines, architectural details, and it's BIG -- and has a porch. I'd like to stride this big old place, all mine! Wouldn't you?

This is the same house, photographed from the rear. The paint didn't change, just the light.

Here's another grand old Stonington place, with upstairs and downstairs porches.

As the outdoor light faded, the interior lights came on.

Here's another view of the same house.

Another Stonington masterpiece of Americana, with a writing room and a porch. How about you? If it weren't for the upkeep, wouldn't you love to live in one of these places? Comment below!
