... what architectual style would it be?

Tudor?
Colonial?
Mission?
Modern?
Ranch?

I can't tell architectural styles from one another outside of Chicago bungalow, which I recognize. I am, however, going to see a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit tomorrow at the members preview at the Milwaukee Art Museum:

Something like this would be good. I want lots of windows and high ceilings.

Perhaps

Or 75 1/2 Bedford Street in Manhattan, once home to Edna St. Vincent Millay, and William Steig, and Margaret Mead.

These three in Amsterdam are nice.

#5 looks like an earthquake hit and it collapsed. The middle red one in #7 is a house???

I love how the Mini Cooper is parked right out front off the smallest house.

7-foot wide Spite House, in Alexandria, Virginia.

Same here. With a big porch for my swinging bench or hammock.

In Dalat, Vietnam.

I'm also partial to cuteness.

I like the Maxwell Perkins House in New Canaan, CT.

Yes, nice touch.

Are you trying to tell us you will live in anything LG, as long as it has a roof walls and windows? At least I think that's what each of those houses have in common.

No, I don't think I'd want to live in one of these.

The Rebecca Nurse Homestead, Danvers, MA, 1678. Nurse was hanged for being a witch, at age 71, in 1692 and secretly buried on the property.

Was she concidered to be a witch because she lived so long?

I am unable to see the picture in msg 18.

No, because several young girls went into convulsive fits in her presence, or under her influence, or something.

Msg 18 is just a big development of closely-set tract houses near Las Vegas which all look alike.

Lafayette House, 1731, Marblehead Mass. I like the color and the chunk taken out of the house at bottom left.

That's actually Danvers, MA. :) On Pine Street in Danvers, I've driven past many a time!

Hillbrow House, 1718, Newton, CT. Love the color.

Edith Wharton's country estate in the Massachusetts Berkshires, The Mount (1902).

The Rockefeller Guest House, 242 East 52nd Street NYC, 1950. Philip Johnson.

Thanks, Amanda.

I like Tuscan/Mediterranean style homes. Also Spanish style homes, but not the adobe ones. More of the ranch ones with a lot of ironwork and stucco.

Waaaaah, there are so many of these houses I can't see.

Wooden house in Irkutsk, Siberia.

#32 vanished on me. It was an interesting apartment building.

There are so many lovely houses above, and one of my problems is that I think so many are wonderful in their own way I have a hard time deciding.

I've always had kind of a fantasy, though, of living in a Victorian house that looks haunted. I mean, pretty fixed-up Victorians, yeah, yeah, yeah...but I want the run-down, paint peeling, leaf-covered, stay away from that crazy woman kind.

Or a Tuscan villa. Either one.

my billionaire uncle is paying for the house, right?

these two are both pretty close to where i grew up, but they'll NEVER be for sale.

but this one is for sale for half a million i think, and has a pretty big garden. downside: i'll be living on the same street as my parents.

or this one for 625.000, here in groningen:



it has a garden too:

I'm happy with my little mid-century ranch, but I love all the pictures!

Open your eyes! :-)

I like farmhouses and old Victorians, places with history and character. My house was built in 1919.

OK, those are pretty awesome.

So are these, in Turkey.

Tucker's Treehouse is in the city where I was grew up.

Treehouse code? Bureaucracy at its finest.

Ko, those are so cool! I'm reading about earthship houses right now.

Beach cottage with lots of windows and hardwood floors.

*sigh*

That reminds me of how much I wanted a tree house as a kid. Never happened. But I did go to my cousin's house and he had one. After sitting in it for five minutes, I got bored and left.

I really like the clean simplicity of modern architecture, but it's hard to find something that isn't cold. I'd want a lot of technology and light but not too much glass.

building the tree house is the fun part, even if it looks like crap.

Oh! I was v. impressed with the Naumkeag estate in the Stockbridge/Berkshires area. I could've spent my entire summer camping out in the gardens. They probably would've kicked me off the property, though.

Dang it, I knew I was doing something wrong. ;)
