The home on the southwest corner of Council St. and Belmont Avenue. (I'm not too fond of the building materials)
What is it called when they let the mortar ooze out like that?

The corner house with it's southern neighbor on Belmont Avenue.

A detail of the Belmont Ave. neighbor. It's a little worse for wear, especially up where the turret used to be. I think there might be a hot-tub
up there now.

House at the northeast corner of Council & Belmont. This used to be a fine house before it was stuccoed to an inch of it's life.

Speaking of an inch of it's life....there's also this house on the southwest corner of Belmont and Court Street.
