A TOUR OF OUR UNIQUE HOME

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

I have had a few people ask for pictures of my home. I did some digging and was able to locate some that were taken when we first bought our current home. When the snow melts and it starts greening-up I will take more current photographs.

My wife and I had seen our home for years. I drove past this place daily on the way to work. It always attracted me because of it's uniqueness. This house was one of only a handful of this style built in the area. I have never seen any other like it, just going on what people that lived in the area told me. The main body of the house is a decagon. (10 sided).

It was built in 1961, and then remodeled in the 1980's. The locals have referred to it as "the round house". One of the local people told me that it was the "talk of the town" when it was being built.

The main portion of the house is a decagon. There is a center room which is a decagon as well, with a spiral staircase going to an upper room which is also a decagon. You can see the upper room from the photos taken from outside.

Here is a photo looking up:

Here is a photograph looking down from the upper room:

This next shot is from the back of the house. We have since screened in this porch.

That gives a pretty good look at our home. We have enjoyed living here and when I do additional pictures in the Spring you will notice a few changes. I know I have more pictures at different points since we moved here but I think they are on CDs, and I have not located them.

I will close this post with a photograph of my wife and myself when we got married. This was 31 1/2 years ago, but I am sure we are just as handsome now as we were then. My wife's name is Deborah. Together we have made a pretty good life together. She "stole" my heart the moment I met her, and a little voice in my head whispered "she is the one".

Most of the photographs were taken with one of the first Canon digital cameras. (7 megapixels). Our wedding photo was taken long before digital cameras, and I scanned it to be able to add it to the blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I trust you have enjoyed the small tour. As this post makes its rounds it will put me over 2,000 followers. To all of you I want to thank you for your ongoing support.

As of 03/15/18 I have hit 2089 followers. Thank you all!

Thank you for your kind words. I saw your introduction, left a comment and resteemed it for you. :o)

Thank you honey. you are so sweet.

I'm just new here. As far as I understand, you are the teacher to build new ones. Actually I'm so sorry that I've talked about these wonderful pictures in your. Actually I can not find any way to talk to you. I can not want to say that here. I'm a student, now my time has been to build a career. This is a very good medium. I'm expecting your support.

go to https://steem.chat/home and register a new account. Then search for r2cornell and leave me a message. I have been ill so have not been as active. I will also leave same message on your blog's first post. I do help newcomers...as much as I can

The round house is so nice. I hope I can visit it in future.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you! Glad you found my post. I saw your introduction post today. Very well done.

When I was young I too was an extreme introvert. I would have never imagined being able to communicate with so many people from all overt the world. I wanted to work in social services, which means talking to people all the time. When I first started it was difficult, but got easier. I still have my moments, especially with large groups of people. I was surprised how I reacted to steemit. Iam sure you will enjoy the people and information here. I look forward to future posts. ;o)

Thanks. I am wishing to become an extrovert too as I find few difficulties in the society. I'm now, trying to communicate with people.

You will always be an introvert...we just learn to open up a little at time in certain situations and with certain people.

Here on steemit you have the opportunity to communicate with others.

Signup for steemIt.chat then search for r2cornell.

I am not always available but you can leave me messages. It can be a more private.

You two are very beautiful. The house and a lot of beautiful. I like your house a lot

Thank you

Wow, look at the house, very beautiful inside the house has been built in a very beautiful way, your post is very good ,,,

Hey friend, thanks for following me. Beautiful house, the plants out front look very nice. A 10-sided house is pretty interesting, I don't think I've seen one before that wasn't a yurt.

Aloha!

Thank you. Glad you like it. I plan on taking some new photos when the snow melts and the flowers start to bloom. Plus we have been remodeling over the years, and w will be putting in new tile this year.
