Must be South Pasadena. :O); June 30, 2009 1:12 AM
Judy Williams said...: Well you did it again. I wonder if on some cosmic level, old cars just find their way there?? What style architecture is that? A mix of Spanish and something? My favorite part are the two glints of light bouncing of of the old bumper.; June 30, 2009 5:09 AM

Even so, he always drove Chevie's.; June 30, 2009 6:17 AM

Trish said...: AH--if it is the house I'm thinking of, the brick WAS added later to close in the porch as a "feature". A few houses, this abomination has happened.

And DJ---the house is not brick, lath with brick facade. In a good quake, those puppies would pop right off like automatic weapon-fire.

pretty Chevy, love the white walls.; June 30, 2009 3:11 PM
Laurie said...: Hey folks,

I have always found the bricks on this house to be a bit odd. The actual house is a Craftsman. (Modifying a Craftsman?!?! Surely there is a statute against it!) But now that I'm used to seeing it, I think it has its own charm. I just love the way the colors came together to make this shot -- with that gorgeous old Chevy front and center. (DB, I saw it the other day, too, but I didn't have batteries for my camera! I was glad it was still there when I returned.)

And I shall return tomorrow. Here. Until then! Thanks everyone!; July 1, 2009 12:20 AM
Mister Earl said...: This house seems to have a yard sale every couple months. Same old stuff each time!; July 1, 2009 5:01 PM
