Sonatas XII-26 (Homes)

Elaborate woodwork on Mayville, Wisconsin, Victorian. It’s Interesting how the first owners/builders valued such ornamentation on otherwise ordinary houses. Maybe not to modern tastes; but give them credit for their aspirations. Photo taken January 2018. Print made February 2020, 8” x 10”.

Sonatas XII-26 (Homes)

Words by Khaetidawne and Brendan Quirk

A house, on a Victorian city street,
On the balcony, gingerbread-corbels beneath your feet.
Whimsical siding that looks like lace -
Clothing the house in Queen Anne’s grace.
 
I suspect that the ornamentation is much appreciated today as an alternative to the bland uniformity in architecture of many our houses and buildings with little creativity and character.
 
Wow, look how the rows of shingles vary on the second floor. Impressive workmanship. But what a burden to paint!
