Shared from @perkinshouse I took a lot of pictures today, in West Salem and La Crosse, Wisconsin, and in Hastings, Minnesota. I have no idea what to post first, so here's a castle. 😊 This home was built for Nymphus B Holway in 1891. It's now a bed and breakfast. I didn't get a look inside, but it sounds like it's stunning. . #stonehouse #americancastle #bluesky #richardsonianromanesque #queenanne #turret #lacrossewisconsin #sunnyday, #BrickStory, #oldhouselove #oldhome #thisoldhouse #architecture, #archi_ologie #housesofinstagram #oldhousecharm #travelnow, #travelamerica, #deserve2preserve #archigram #architecture_hunter #architecture_best #architecturaldesign #architecturedaily #architecturedetails #instarchitecture #architecture_view #architecturealways #designdetails .

This grand home at 712 E. Lexington in Harrodsburg, Kentucky has fallen into terribly sad condition. The over 10,000 square foot Romanesque Revival house was built by Colonel Daniel Lawson Moore for his second wife, Miss Minnie Ball of Woodford County, whom he married in 1891. The residence is the largest in Mercer County, and the handsomest building in the Romanesque Revival style in Central Kentucky. It took five years to build. The architect is unknown. In architectural quality the residence is equal to the Theophilus Conrad house at St. James Court in Louisville, designed by the architects, C.J. Clark and Arthur Loomis, and built during the mid 1890’s, which is considered the finest example of its kind in that city. The mansion at Mooreland is built of limestone and brick, the front of the building being entirely of stone. Each block is carefully tooled, with ribbing or bush-hammer and is laid with pink mortar. The façade features a veranda of large semicircular arches carried on short round pillars of polished granite with elaborately carved limestone capitals. The veranda curves into octagonal forms at either end, that at the south extremity being a four-storied tower crowned by an entablature and parapet. The home was recently up for auction and is desperately in need of some love (and investment) . #BrickStory, #americancastle, #RomanesqueRevival, #romanesque, #revival, #oldhouselove #archi_ologie, #thisplacematters, #manor, #moore, #savingplaces, #helpme, #kentuckyhome, #rehabaddict #houseaddict #thisoldhouse #chasing_facades #iloveoldhouses, #storyteller, #travelnow, #travelamerica, #dreamhome, #deservetopreserve, #saveme, #historicalhomes, #historichome, #instahomes, #instaarchitecture, #instahistory, #kingsandqueens (Photos from Historical Homes of America on Facebook) .

Enjoyed a three hour lunch with my dear friend Colleen Farrell today. She is a treasure! We are so fortunate to have her in Murray County. She is the author and editor of the historic Maury publication which comes out poorly from the Murray County historical Society. I learned so much about our beautiful town every time I see her. Pictured is a 1930s photo of the Columbia female Institute. #historygeek #maurycountytn #columbiatn #americancastle (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/susanelizabethjones_art/p/Bvm4Bxwg19x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9pa11sczv4qf

"Sometimes, on waking, she would close her eyes; For a last look at that white house she knew; In sleep alone, and held no title to, And had not entered yet, for all her sighs. What did she tell me of that house of hers? White gatepost; terrace; fanlight of the door; A widow’s walk above the bouldered shore; Salt winds that ruffle the surrounding firs. Is she now there, wherever there may be? Only a foolish man would hope to find; That haven fashioned by her dreaming mind. Night after night, my love, I put to sea."

Logan Circle is a neighborhood with a central traffic circle in NW Washington D.C. During the Civil War, Logan Circle was home to Camp Barker a refugee camp for freed slaves from Virginia and Maryland. Later, the beautiful Victorian homes - most of which can still be gazed at today - began to pluck up around the area. Originally known as Iowa Circle it was renamed by Congress in 1930 in honor of John A. Logan, Civil War Commander on the Union side ( Army of the Tennessee) Share your homes' photos and stories today at BrickStory.com. #BrickStory, #storystylesoul, #architecture, #historicpreservation #househistory,  #americanhistory, #oldhouselove, #exteriordesign, #vintage, #preservation, #historichome, #history, #photography #americanhome, #photographer, #mansion, #americandream, #americancastle #washingtondc #logan #victorian #neighborhood Image Via @rachnewm (at Lijst van bekende mensen uit Washington D.C.)

A mansard adorned gem from the 19th century. Who do you think sat in those bedrooms over the years, looking out their upstairs windows to see if they could find Rudolph's nose?
