Driving around the neighborhoods of Greensboro is so much fun. The above house is located on Robin Hood Drive, in the community between EarthFare and Bryan Boulevard. This house, a typical design for Greensboro in the 1990's, has been dubbed the French House. As you can see, the French flag is prominently displayed. Also, the shutters are painted the same blue as the top stripe on the French flag- identified with Saint Martin. Then their is the white painted second floor, and the bottom red brick represents the red on the stripe, for Saint Denis.
Surely there is a back story here. Perhaps the owner was born in France, teaches French, or simply a francophile, loving the French language and culture. first time we see someone out working in the yard, for sure we will stop and ask them. The Robin Hood tale is associated with England, so we're guessing the name of the street does not hold a clue. Our homes say so much about us; some more than others. What does your "maison" say about you?
There has to be a strong French connection here Janis.. looking forward to you finding that person out front working in the garden 😊
