Houses old and new




So Greymouth being originally an old mining town is full of houses from different eras. There are Victorian, art deco, 1950s, 1960s and modern. These 3 are just a few examples of what I've seen in my neighbourhood.

The second photo with the house with the long narrow window looks odd. Art Deco I presume and are those faux shutters. I love pic no 3 the classic old style kiwi home. You have a variety that's for sure

Our houses in my corner of the world certainly look different than these.

Happy Tuesday, Amy!

I love watching "house hunting" shows on TV - but am really quite content to live where I do, in a rented flat...
