You may remember this house at 231 N Hope which was discussed a couple of weeks ago. While I was looking through the HDL collection earlier I found this side view of the same house taken on the same day.
NB. I've tweaked the colors and cleaned up most of the dirt from the sky.

I hadn't realized how deep the house was when I only had front and rear views to go by. It looks like the house was extended several times.


Detail of picture above.

The owners must've felt they only needed to paint the front of the side wall because that's all that showed when the house next door was still standing - see Hoffman's picture below.
