I Spy - Historic

Photobucket
This week has flown by.  Most likely because I've been spending time up at the hospital.  
I hope you are all ready to join Miss Christy's Mad Mind and myself for this weeks I Spy.  Your prompts this week are HISTORIC and YOUR CHOICE.  
Today I was glad to be headed to the hospital.  The one where my mom is at, is up in the Avenues of Salt Lake, where a lot of the homes are from back in the early 1900's.   I love the Avenue area.  All the homes have their own personality.  Not like the sub-divisions of today.   I took most of these photo's today out of my car window.   See, that's how easy the rules are for this meme.
HISTORIC
This is  one of the larger homes, that has now been converted into an office.  I actually can't believe it still has leaves hanging on for dear life, on December 18th.

Loved the look of this one.  It was begging me to stop and go inside.  

This is just a little plain one close to the hospital.  I thought it looked quaint.

MY CHOICE

I took a photo of the hospital my mom is in.  Not because she is there, but because all three of my children were born in this hospital.  My family started right here.  That in itself is historic.

I could have spent all day just driving every street in the Avenues, snapping picture after picture.  But, there was the thing about going to help my mom.  Tee-hee-hee

  2. Great houses! My aunt and uncle have a great old home built in 1860. I have so many glowing memories there.

  3. I love the Avenues. I lived on M street when I was single. Tony lived on Fourth and K during part of his first marriage in something cute like that last house. Ariel wants to live there someday. Lovely victorians mixed with craftsman and mansions of yesterday.
