"Dream Home Series" Grimsby, Ontario

I took this picture for obvious reasons -- the house has it all, and to me it was stunning, and surely ranks near the top of my Dream Home Series (taken with my trusty little SD-110 - 3.2mp)

MAPLEHURST, 354 MAIN STREET WEST
With a mix of Italianate, Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles, this beautiful Victorian home has everything – 2 storey bay, gables, porches, verandah and even a tower! It was built C.1880 by Linus Woolverton a fruit farmer since 1798. In addition to growing fruit, Linus was editor of The Canadian Horticulturist, secretary of the Ontario Fruit Growers Association, and Inspector of Experimental Stations. Maplehurst was one of these stations.

I love this style of home as well Ed except I don't like the color of the curtain in the left hand window of the attic...other than that, it's pretty good!
