11466 Robin Hood d, originally uploaded by RedStickModern.
This house was featured in a previous entry, but I thought it deserved an entry of its own. This front-gable ranch with massive clerestory windows commands a corner lot in Sherwood Forest.
Here’s what I’m picturing: tiki torches lining the edges of the property, Bob and Carol bbq-ing on the front lawn, lots of giddy laughter and enough Mai Tais to drown Don Ho. Can you dig it?
My aunt and uncle had a home in Sherwood Forest. They’re gone but the memories remain. My uncle made a fortune when air-conditioning came to Louisiana. But, when I think of him I think plastic flowers. He took a class in flower arranging. All plastic. The house was filled with rather strange modern flower arrangements.
It’s lovely to see someone appreciate these old homes…tho’ my interest dates back to Craftsman.
