Esther Williams House. Craftsman-style front-gabled house with interior chimney, 3/1 sash windows, and an offset gabled porch with Craftsman posts and a replacement railing. Vinyl siding covers the walls, eaves, and eave brackets. The occupant in 1930 was Esther Williams. [1930 CD]

NC Garage. mid-1950s. Front-gabled concrete block garage. 

It's not THAT Esther Williams, but it's still a lovely home worth recognition.

That's our house! And fyi, the house did once have vinyl siding, but that has been stripped and is back to its lovely wood siding. Our neighbor told us that this happened about a decade ago.

House was recently listed for sale and is under contract now - note the lovely floors and fireplaces.
