This outside of the above little white house is spotless and the yard is well cared for, hinting that the owner probably lives there. In the mid-20th century and earlier, smaller homes were common. We predict that the post-McMansion Generation will seek houses like the one above. If you think about it, the younger generation is growing up with "rooms full of stuff" consolidated onto their computer desktop: games, photos, scrapbooks, music, videos, clocks, paperwork, school assignments, books, magazines, you name it. If you are driving around town this weekend, visit Greensboro's mill villages and imagine yourself in one of these historical little homes. Greensboro is right there with the rest of America: Small is the new big.
Here is a link to a house up the street from this one.

Great eye in combining the stops lights with the house.
How far out on Church is the smallest house?
Have you ever had a person as a focal point in a shot?
Keep up the great work.

I live in a 1200 sq ft house that was 900 sq ft when my parents bought it. I could use a bigger shop and more garden space but a bigger house-- just more to take care of.
By the way, I know who owns that house in the picture.

Billy, we sure are glad we said nice things about the yard!!!
David, Yes, we did a whole series of A-Z people of Greensboro. We'll have to try to feature people again. Since this is something we do en route to and from work, it gets a little challenging to arrange to feature people.
Will put that on our "to do" list! Thank you everyone for reading and, especially thank you to those who comment!

Like Billy, I live in a small house too. We like it and have been happy here. Could use a second bathroom, but that's not going to happen since there's no room. Oh, well.
