Historic Blouse & Skirt House

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This post is therefore an essay! Take a trip back to a past that is still, curiously, the present.

The front/entrance of the historic blouse and skirt house.
At the time of this photo, the historic house was still in use. The resident, a descendant of the original occupants!

Blouse and Skirt. Wood, seated on stone that was sourced locally.
This angle shows more clearly the shape that led to the popular name for historic homes such as this one.

A glance at a portion of the interior of the home.
Note the furnishings and the use of the crocus flour sack.
Wood neatly stacked away at the back with still-hot bush tea in the pot on the outdoor stove in the forefront.

This view of the back of the historic house shows clearly the great care taken with repairs over the years.

Thus ends the essay, all six thousand (12 point font, of course) words; 12 pages single-spaced, 24 pages double-spaced.
