Richardson-Ulrich house

Richardson-Ulrich house
This Queen Anne Shingle style house was originally a small farm house, built in 1885. A large addition was built in 1908. (Information from: focus.nps.gov/pdfhost/docs/NRHP/Text/88001244.pdf ) It is currently vacant and seems to be in the process of rehab. What would possess someone to use these colors? Saturation slightly reduced - it's really more purple.

Update: Surprisingly, I took a photo of this house in 2014. (See PiP.) Also, I can tell from the Google Earth image (June 2016) that it was still white then. So...this is the new color! It is on the National Register of Historic Places, which makes this paint even more of a travesty. I am surprised they were allowed to do this.

Don Barrett (aka DBs travels), , John FitzGerald, have particularly liked this photo

It's a pretty great old Victorian. It's huge, I wouldn't want to maintain this house!

Oh yes, I can hear that screech-screech-screech music! He doesn't strike me as the purple type, though. Thank you!

That elliptical window is something else.

It's a unique feature. I have seen a few elsewhere, but not this big. Thanks John!
