Today after a Dental appointment
for my husband in Kansas City,
we drove around Liberty, Missouri.
We wanted to check out a few of the
very old homes in the area.
with the Gothic type
windows. I could imagine
a white picket fence around
it with lots of flowers.
renovations:
So the downtown was your familiar
4 block square of old buildings with
what we assumed was a courthouse
in the middle.
This building below is now used for the
historical society and is dated 1877:
As we came around the square and turned
the corner we saw this old bank.
The sign said that this was where the
Jesse James gang did their first daytime
bank robbery
in 1866.
I particularly like the green and white trimmed home. The green is either a mild olive green or a dark sage. Love the circular area of the porch and upper level deck (porch). I've always thought houses that have a mixture of stone and wood are really nice to look at. So many beautiful old homes in one place. I know you really enjoyed your drive. Good camera work!

It looks like it was a lovely sunny day for such a drive and some beautiful houses to show. Thank you for the tour because those are really some spectacular homes. Makes you wish you could see the insides.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have some great small towns in Missouri. Thanks so much for sharing pictures of the lovely historic homes and downtowns. It would be a great place for a vacation when the weather isn't too hot. 😉 Maybe we'll make it out there this year.
ReplyDeleteCharming gracious homes... The museum would probably be interesting, too.
ReplyDeleteNice tour. Beautiful big homes. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful houses, I especially liked the first one.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen! Oh, those are some lovely houses. That is one of my favorite things to do, take a drive and looks at old houses. Thanks so much for popping in to see me.
