Boy, I am SO grateful for people who let me be an artist! And for people who want to join in on these Daily Painting Projects of mine... there's so much to be grateful for!
This amazing house took a bit longer because of all the details... there's a lot of filigree on this one! Isn't it something? The dramatic angle and the leaves all added to it too. I left out the houses on either side because this feels like it could stand alone. Isn't it fine?
Here's what Michael wrote about it~
As for a story about the place, we don't have anything too exciting. The house was built in 1891. U.S. Representative James Manahan, a Saint Paul lawyer, lived in the house with his family for a time. A prior owner shared a photo of someone who looks like Mr. Manahan sitting in a very old car outside the house a very long time ago, and the photo is on the wall of our entryway along with another old photo of the house passed down from owner to owner - this photo shows that there was originally a turret on the northeast corner of the house.
