Architectural Homes Walk

Yesterday we enjoyed an architectural walk through an older neighborhood of homes built at the turn of the century. We thought it was a treat for the eyes and hope you enjoy it. Queen Anne style, built 1911:


My favorite was this Bungalow Style, built 1925:


and it's sweet side garden:


Colonial Revival home built by C. Walton Fitch 1920

American Foursquare style 1905:


There were many old flowering trees:


We liked this wavy fence:


We hope you enjoyed our walking tour of historic homes (route planned by "Walk Arlington.")

Thanks to Walk Arlington for designing this educational walk. We enjoyed it and hope you did too.
