The Alexander Black house in Blacksburg, built around 1897. We went in to take a tour but it was swarming with people so we didn't stick around. We'll save that for another day! For more info on Alexander Black CLICK HERE....linking with Roan's Rubbish Tuesday :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous old home! Glad to see it's being well taken care of too!
ReplyDeletethe house of a magician
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house and an interesting man.
ReplyDeleteThere's window seat, I bet, that needs me and a book.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit this place and take some images myself. Totally drawn in by houses like these.

cool house. love all those details. vibrant colors! ( :
ReplyDeleteIs this a "strange" house, but I like it !
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of one of those "haunted" or "spooky" houses you'd find in the Disney movies. Must be something about it, though, to get all that attention!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home! Those are the kind of homes that are on Main Street in my husband's hometown. You lived in Willard for a bit, my husband and I went to college there at SMS which is now MSU. It's a small world.
ReplyDeleteDidn't go to college in Willard.. I am so goofy! I just think of all the towns in Greene County as Springfield!
Deleteit is a small world!! little old greene county missouri! we loved missouri!
DeleteI agree with Bergson, a Victorian magician!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Wendys ad "Where's the Beef." Where's the rubbish? Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeletehaha i know, but in this case rubbish is just old stuff!
DeleteNo doubt a tour of this old, stately home would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery cool house! It looks like something you'd see in a movie.
ReplyDeleteI would dearly love to go thru this olden house.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a building out of a fairy tale. :)
ReplyDeleteHow random that it was so crowded!
ReplyDeletei should have explained that it was during the blacksburg steppin out festival so that's why so many people! we'll go back on a slow day sometime!
DeleteIt's a marvelous house but I would hate to pay to paint it!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is soo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCool house! I would love to see the inside.
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of the place!
ReplyDeleteWow; SO different form Japanese type houses :-) I enlarged the picture and enjoyed the old unique house to the full♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteSending you Lots of Love and Hugs to from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
That's a very interesting building Tanya, I'd like to look around it myself. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteSo if I have 3 message hanging out there somewhere, please delete a couple. Having browser issues. Love this house. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful old home!

Wonderful looking place, and very popular looking too!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like a fascinating place to visit! Hope you get your tour soon.
ReplyDeleteUnusual colors of paint. As others have stated, it would definitely be interesting to go through. Wonder if it smells musty and old, or has been really maintained well with old furniture and such. Interesting that the town is also named Black burg.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are one lucky blogger....I don't think any blog I read goes as many places as you!!! Do you just have a lot of things to see around your area? Thanks for always sharing with us who are stuck home and never get to go anyplace.....much. :)
ReplyDeletelol well most places are pretty near that i put on here, like this one for instance is about an hour, training camp pics was an hour and a half...there's still so much for us to see and enjoy!
DeleteA fairy tale house. Love it!
