  1. I just love the West Hartford CT house. The whole picture is just a lovely inviting image. Also love the color combination. Well done Deb, it must be a pleasure to walk in such a lovely area. As this message comes from Australia, I was also impressed by front doors without fly screens. Our windows have them as well.

  2. 1st place = Charles Green House
    2nd place = Isaac Stevens House
    3rd place = The Hartford Club

    Thank you for the lovely photos!

  3. Thank you, Henny! West Hartford is my hometown – it’s a wonderful place! I am lucky to live in an area with lots of sidewalks and unique architecture – everything from small, cozy homes to luxurious estates. All the way from Australia! I wish I could say we don’t need fly screens here – in the summer all windows and doors have them as we do have flies and mosquitos, among other things! Happy Holidays!

  4. I love all the doors, but the Charles green house in south Windsor Ct is really pretty. I live in Ma now but Ct is where I was born and raised. the pictures made my day. It was nice to see homes in my home state

  5. Hi Linda! I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos. I grew up in South Windsor and so the Charles Green house is special to me! Hope you have had a wonderful holiday season!
