I showed you this greenhouse, which is part of Spadina House Museum, surrounded by snow last February (click here) and thought I would show it now. Also, in the background you can see what used to be a stable on the grounds before being converted into a dwelling for the gardener until the 1920s. It seems to be in use as a private home now.
The theme for City Daily Photo bloggers on June 1 is "Zest."
I've always thought greenhouses are the height of elegance. Once lived in a house where there was one with a professional gardener. It was terrific. Lovely photo.
I love both shots, it looks so pretty under the snow and yet now in spring it looks positively joyful! You'll have to return in the autumn when the leaves are red!
Hi again. I did some checking. Neither apartment is for sale. But the one on the left is estimated at $125K and the one on the right at about 71K. I have no idea why the difference as they look identical to me.
There is a very similar greenhouse in Elizabeth Park, from about the same time period. I need to check whether I have shown it on my blog. And, there is also a nearby building painted a similar green color.
how PRETTY! the greenhouse has enough neat details to make it stand out, but the blooms, green trees in back, the stable-turned-home. love!
ReplyDeleteit has the look of spring now!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very elegant looking greenhouse!

ReplyDeleteI prefer this scene over February's.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beauty!

Hi Pat! Re your comment on Ocala: I'm guessing that entire building would go for about $150K.
