I must say that it was one of the most wonderful things about moving to the East from the Rockies--historic beauties aplenty! It's really hard to give up this kind of architecture once you become accustomed to it.
Last week, my assistant and I visited this historic landmark in Lower Makefield, Pa. Check out this date!
We decided that each home of this era should come with a pedigree of sorts, a guest list of the important dignitaries who slept here, poets who wrote here, women who toiled here. The grounds were beautiful, the rose gardens and stone pumphouse. I do love historic properties. Of course, I could just imagine that it would be the perfect bed and breakfast!
In this photo, note the shutters on the first and second floor are two different colors. This is a true historic mark. I love the white shutters against the Bucks County Stone. And oh, those dormer windows!
Projects like this just make my heart sing. Beautiful Bucks County, Pa.

I love all of the historic stone houses in our county. When I grow up, I want to live in one. ;-)
I love those historic homes as well. Definitely nothing like that around here! I had no idea about the two different colors on the shutters. What a fun project for you!
I have always loved beautiful old stone houses. My dream is to live in one and of course have you decorate it!
Beautiful! Ha I just remember when Wheat Ridge had that sign: "City of Trees." Haha. Bucks County blows WR out of the water!

I love all the character of historic homes, and I love the homes found back East. Utah is definitely lacking in charm.
Ditto Linda's comment for me!
Our hearts are singing the same tune! I love it here so much...
There is not a stone house that I see that does not take my breath away...I love thinking about how it was to live back in the 17th and 18th centuries...
