An Old House

It's  RUBBISH TUESDAY  If you have time, you should check them out.

For my entry I wanted to share this old picture of a house (the one on the left). This house was built in 1917 and was owned by a few people before my husband and I bought it in 1999. Some changes had been made to the original place. The porch was removed, a sun room added to the area outside the picture frame to the left and a den in the back.

 
My house is on the market now and some other somebody will get to enjoy it. Here is how it looks today.
