Stucco House on Walker Avenue

The Spanish stucco house featured today is located on Walker Avenue, across from Ebenezer Lutheran Church. Likely, the house is owned or rented by someone affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). This type of architecture is not common to Greensboro; however, it fits with this eclectic neighborhood. In recent years, the façade has been spruced up and this house is a charming casa near campus, just down the street from the little log cabin we featured in January. We're wondering if the chair on the right is a Uhwarrie Chair Company product made in nearby High Point!

Looks tiny but thre are three cars so I guess it goes back a ways.
Yes, I use film. My camera collection my be seen at Matters Photographic at the foot of the Mono site's sidebar.

I don't know why, but it looks somewhat out of place for NC. Looks charming, however.

G'boro has some great, classic, older home, and you have a knack for finding them!

[Carver]

That looks like a charming house and well suited to monochrome. I hope you have a great week.

How interesting...at first glance, I thought, "No, that can't be! In Greensboro? It looks very similar to the house I lived in in Los Angeles in the late 40s!"

Nice photo; interesting commentary!

Have a great week!

What a great monochrome image and a really neat little house!

I like this Spanish stucco . . . there are so few of them here in Quincy. the white casings around the windows and doorways really jump out.

Nice shot .. perfect for a monochrome!

I love this picture. What a great little house. It looks like the type of place that you could walk or ride your bike to town from. I love those neighborhoods.

Great photo. Your b+w photos are consistently wonderful. This house looks like it belongs in Arizona, not NC. Have a great week.

Wonderful shot! This reminds me of the home I grew up in ... though our Spanish style flat roofed stucco house had a huge semi-enclosed porch across part of the front.
Hugs and blessings,

Beautiful contrasts on this!

What a delightful little house - so friendly in appearance. Fine mono.

I used to see houses like this all the time in California but I don't think I've seen one in the East. It just looks right in B&W.

I'm not sure I'd want to see the stucco in color! The black and white complements it. Very nice.

Perfect example of a monochrome photograph before color became popular.

I used to avoid getting cars in the pictures. Now, I realize how much they help in dating a photo! Thanks for all the Monday comments. What a way to start the week! David B., as always, thank you for being such a faithful reader and commenter!

Stucco really works! Aside from its durability it really gives a beautiful impact to your home. It is beautiful.

I had to laugh as soon as I saw this house. My husband and I were married in Ebenezer and in our wedding pictures taken in the church entrance this house is in all the pictures through the window in the background!
