John Waite House, Old West End ( 1892 )
The form is simple, but the decoration pulls all the stops. The walking tour brochure lists John Waite as the first owner. I'm going to have to find out what the C is for. Someone must have liked pigeons.
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

The detail work on the trim is just amazing!
