Charming Blue Victorian




In the 100 E block of 200 N in Provo, you can find this charming old Victorian. It is in need of a little sprucing up, but the details on this house are impressive!





Three soaring chimneys rise high above the roof.  One is so particularly high, it has a cable attached for safe keeping.  




And look at the detailing in the trim work!  Gingerbread siding.  Very unique gable boards.  You can't see very well in this photo, but the space above this top window bows outward in a sort of curved overhang above the window.  




Even the brickwork has detailing.  




Check out the leaded glass work above the windows!






So charming with lace curtains in the window and nice plantings all around the foundation.



And stone lintels above every window.




I'm not sure what is on the tip of the roof.  Maybe some sort of lightning protection?






And the front porch is just DIVINE!




As I was leaving, I noticed a matching play house in the backyard! Could anything get sweeter?
