I put a little competition out there this week. It was that whoever posted the 100th comment on this site would win. The prize was that we’d write about the house of the commenter’s choice. We left it open, it could be the commenter’s house that they’d like know more about or to showcase to the community. It may be a house that intrigues them and always wondered about. We will post photos and commentary about the style, neighborhood, etc. Maybe even include historical info about past or present residents.

Inspiration for this came when my neighbor Hank Delcore remarked about some similar features that our homes’ have. My wife and I had done some research about our house before we bought it and knew it was Minimal Traditional style. Hank’s home is the same style. He was satisfied that he knew a little more about his house, and that he could be more “architecturally hip” in talking about it.

The winner was Michael Birdsong with a comment on the 1st Draft of Tower District streetscape design. His choice was to have his home in the Tower District written about because he wants to know more about it’s style. Stay tuned for a story about the house pictured.
