Former Phillips 66 station

A man drove by in his Mercedes just as I was standing there taking pictures and asked what I'd give him for it. I think he meant the gas station; I thought he meant the gas pump. I said, "$250," and he chuckled, waved, and drove on.

Howard House, c. 1848, Greek Revival

503 East Hodges, c. 1896, r. 1902, Queen Anne
By far my favorite on this trip.

The next eight are on Silk Stocking Row:

416 South Sycamore, c. 1900, Queen Anne

805 South Sycamore, c. 1895, Queen Anne

Pennybacker-Campbell-Wommack House,
c. 1891, r. 1923, Queen Anne

921 South Sycamore, c. 1890, Queen Anne

1014 South Sycamore, c. 1900, Craftsman
1014 south sycamore
Standing out like a sore thumb, nestled smack dab in the middle of the "Silk Stocking Row" neighborhood of turn-of-the-century Victorian homes, is this little place. Servant's quarters? Must have been some type of domestic servant's home, originally.

717 South Sycamore, c. 1879, Queen Anne

1219 South Sycamore

The Green Queen in the second and third pics is fantastic.

Here in Pittsburg, KS we have a Carnegie libray that is Prairie Style also. Not very common for a library to be in that style.

Beautiful pictures. I love driving around and looking at old buildings and houses

Isn't that great, John? It wasn't on my list of things to capture, but you can see why I had to stop and get it. I'd agree also on library styles most often being Classical or Greek Revival.

Yes, Deborah, me too! It's even better when you can photograph them. "Take a picture, it lasts longer" kind of thing...
