The Porch On Seminary Road


 This is a Fascinating house on a tiny street in the Middle of  our Little town . There was supposedly a Girls Seminary on the street years ago but it is nowhere to be seen now. The house porch faces sideways , so I have to assume that it looked down the hill , which now has houses next to each other all the way down and that the Vista was Once  beautiful . The Little  Road  now goes to the Town Parking Lot !!.
   It has a Turret or Widows Lookout  which is very Spooky , because there is No water or coast-line near our town .We are inland .So what did they look down to?
  It has Always held so much mystery for me even though  I have gone by it thousands of times to get through and into town but I still always turn my head to look at it , always ..
   The Owner  knew just what they wanted and built a Beautiful and Expensive  home for the times .There appear to be 3 floors and many rooms..
  Oddly now, there is no yard , no where to look out and no place to keep horses or park a car . My imagination runs wild ,guessing  about what it used to look like , where all the rest of it is and what life was like in the town when there were just dirt roads, horse carriages  and few people . And especially who First  lived in this  house, way out in the country.. Now it is a very thriving town with lots of peoples and  homes.
  This is just the Porch , but I have painted the whole house as well , always trying to project my sense of Mystery into it . 
   To see Details of the House click on it .It seems very loved even now .
