Yesterday I made my 2nd trip down to Monroe.  This time I mainly focused on getting shots of its old houses and I also went to historic Woodland Cemetery.  I will start off with the pictures taken in June.

I'll never drive past Monroe the same way again.

 

Nice shots. Odd little place.

I'll never see Monroe the same way again

Nifty town. My favorite, far and away:

^You seem to like homes with that feature at the top....blankling on the name. That would be my favorite if the porch wasn't altered. I prefer the last house I suppose, although I like many of them.

 

Great thread! I should do a Monroe, Ohio thread...boy what a contrast.

Bevedere or cupola.

 

Yeah, the porch is kind of messed up, but that wouldn't be a major thing to fix. Considering how much of the rest of the house has kept its integrity, the porch is pretty inconsequential to me.

Yes, you should.  I'd be interested to see that.

Interesting place. I always wondered what that town looked like.
