A brick Gothic Revival home, built sometime between 1874 and 1882.
We are located in a historic district in a mid-sized town in south-central Colorado.
Here she is from the back-end:

And back outside… my lovely lady in full-bloom:
She’s creaky and she’s old, but she’s still a sight to behold.

Love your blog and what a super great house!!!
Thanks Loretta!
your house is so narrative, so heavy with story, I am searching for the right words. So rich? So wonderful.
I agree, she is one-of-a-kind!
Stunning.Thanks for the inspiration!Donna
Love your old house! Beautiful! And your garden looks fab too!
Beautiful!
I really like the brick coloring, gives it some charm. The inside is very nice too, especially the kitchen!
Thanks! I like to think of the brick exterior as being covered by lace (if you kind of squint your eyes)
love that kitchen! i just LOVE old kitchens!
Hi Sarah I love your blog , and love the info on old houses. I especially liked the 1925 Sears house, So charming !! . and your house is wonderful. I love old kitchens and have one myself as you know. . If I were you I wouldn’t sell your home to anyone that wants to gut the kitchen. I’ll keep watching your blog. It was fun. Your Canon City neighbor. Jan Sylvia Say Hi to Noe for me.
Hi Jan!! Glad you found my site!
Love your home, especially the painted brick! So pretty.
thanks for stopping by Kim!
Hi Sarah. I live in Canon so have passed your house a lot of times. I have always loved the look of it. It’s a real stand out. I also am a sucker for old houses. Love all the history stuff. And I collect antiques. I also have just retired from the prison you mention only now it is called Territorial Prison or Old Max. Saw a lot of pictures of it from the early years. I’m glad I found your blog so I could find out more about your house. Paula
thanks Paula! There’s so many great old houses here in Canon – fun place to go house-peeping!
Hi I love your’e beautiful home and it is so spacious,love the simple yet elegant decorating.Interesting story,just last week I watched the HG tv episode with the home in Sterling renovated from the old Dale Carnegie library,when it first started I kept thinking that looks sooo familiar,and then they announced it was the old Sterling,Colo. library,I lived there as a child from 2 to 9 yrs old(1970 to 1977)my father was raised near there.I visited the library many times as a child!Good luck in selling you’re beautiful home,and best wishes on you’re next home,Kim Owen Moore.
thank you Kim!
How do you keep your wood floors so nice and shiny? What products do you use and not use????
Mary, I use only Swiffers – dry, then wet once or twice a week.
I love your current love-house. Most likely a lovely farmhouse, looks like it could have even been a schoolhouse or a chapel!
I can’t believe you haven’t been able to sell this beautiful old house! It is so lovely!
