Re-visiting the corner of Laird Drive and Broadway Ave. to check on the progress of the “Victorian” home being built there is a lot of fun. The brick and stone work is all in place and so are the leaded windows. They add a very elegant feeling. But it is the corner watch tower that offers a commanding view on the northeast corner of the home that is so strongly reminiscent of the 19th Century. Wait. Around back is a Victorian garage with a round window over the door (inset). Well, they didn’t have garages in the 19th century but this is what they might have looked like if there had been any. The further progress of this property will be interesting to watch.
