Pre-Depression Style House

This house is located in Russellville, AR. It's what
I call a pre-depression style house. It was likely
built between 1900 and 1920. After the 1930s,
houses were not constructed as sturdy. The gable
has broken glass scattered in it for decoration.
I love the houses of this era!

Sister, there's a house on Kavanaugh Street, probably a little newer than the one you show but looks to be a similar style, that has glass embedded in the gables. It's beautiful. I love to drive by and stop and look and I often take my visitors past it so they can see too. Why don't we all decorate our houses' exteriors these days?

About Patsy's burlap bag art, I will imagine that if these are still around somewhere they would be considered for an art installation somewhere. I'd love to see them.

I always want to go inside and see how folks decorate. Looks like a really nice home.

I love these houses, too. There are lots of houses of this era in Little Rock, or at least, there were when I lived there. I've seen the one Annie is talking about.
