The Villa

The neighborhood across the street (Addison) is called "The Villa". The Villa is this very small area of Avondale that runs between the highway/train tracks and the intersection of Pulaski and Addison. This is full of nothing but beautiful, well maintained homes on boulevard style streets. Most of these homes are brick or stucco, and they have a very consistent style. Some of the homes are said to be designed by disciples of Frank Lloyd Wright, and it shows in the uniqueness of design from home to home.

Jen and I walked around here with the girls today, just taking pictures of some of the homes to get an idea of what we are building near. Our hope is that we will be able to add subtle little nuances in the design of our home that will adhere to a similar style concept as these homes. Our street does not embody this style consistently down the block, but we can at least try...
