Like the look of Crawford Street, but those aren't the right windows for that vintage house. Also love Belle Fleur. It reminds me of a lovely house where I used to stay in Louisiana.

Oh, The Magnolia's! I want to sit on the porch and drink a mint julep. That courtyard garden on the other is lovely. Now I'm on a house frenzy...

LC _ that is the one. Though, did manage to find one between Rochester and Oswego!

fairfax — thought that Belle Fleur had a New Orleans feel to it, so pretty.

Love the Williams quote! I have often felt the same.

The houses are lovely as well.. But it's probably a good thing you can't photograph the humidity! It's brutal down south right now!

If you move to the house between Rochester and Oswego I will move to the Oswego house I love. We can be intolerant and cynical neighbors. I would ADORE that.

my first choice would be the magnolias, but belle fleur is a beauty.

Belle Fleur has my vote also. One day, however, you must travel to Natchez. Absolutely astonishing houses, so much gingerbread folderol and hoo-ha. Beautiful. And the loveliest, most eccentric people in America. If you go there, you must order a milk punch (loads of liquor in that by the way).

this reminds me so much of the houses in Galveston!!!! We are thinking in the same mode!!
