Secluded House – Interesting Roof Design
This brick home on a secluded lot on Edmond Street has an interesting steel shingle roof. Although the roof is modern, it must follow the original house lines. That flat section at the top looks like other roofs I’ve seen where there’s an access to the roof from the top floor to look over the surrounding area. I’ve heard it called a “widows walk” – explained as a vantage point where a woman can look to see if her husband is coming home from the war. This one must have served an extended family. Below is another shot displaying the roofline of the house and garage.
Brick Beauty
The light coloured brick along the corners and over the windows is interesting. Unfortunately the tops of the shutters don’t match the arches over the windows.
Stone House
This is a beautifully restored stone house on James St. in Carleton Place.
Leaves Turning Colour
Leaves from a shrub in my garden.
Porch
There’s a theme developing. I have decided this month to photograph some of Carleton Place’s most interesting older buildings. I also intend to produce most of the images in black and white.

Fall Colour
Some fall colour among the sea of leaves that occupy my front yard.
Victoria School Museum
The Victoria School Museum was original the town hall. It subsequently became the Victoria School and is now a museum and also houses a display dedicated to Carleton Place veterans.
Vote Dennis Burns
It’s civic election time in Carleton Place, as in the rest of Ontario, so there are lots of signs about. If signs were votes, Ed Sonnenburg would be in trouble.
Horses
These two horses are grazing in a feild near my house. As I approached the fence they came up to me although not close enough to touch. I think they were hoping for treats.
