Dear Daily Bungalow
![Dr. George C. Shaw House 1 by Universal Pops on Flickr.
Thank you for your views and comments; they are very much appreciated.
[The Dr. George C. Shaw House set has 7 images] This 1921 brick bungalow in Oxford, North Carolina was the home of Dr. George C. Shaw (1863-?). He was born in Louisburg, North Carolina and educated at Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) and then obtained a doctorate in theology at Auburn Seminary (New York). He was the founding pastor of Timothy Darling Presbyterian Church (1888) in Oxford and established the Mary Potter School (or Academy) a year later, named for its benefactress Mrs. B. F. Potter of Schenectady, New York. It filled a void in the education of blacks in the area. Until 1936 it was the only high school for African-Americans in Granville County. In the early days of the school religion was a major course of study; but as the school grew, industrial arts and agriculture became important. Over many years several additions were made to the campus, but today only one classroom structure (the Industrial Arts Building) exists in addition to the residence of Dr. Shaw, which houses a museum. I’ve been by the museum several times but unfortunately have not found it open.
Thomas L. Hicks, an instructor at the school, along with students from the Academy built the house. This 2-story red brick bungalow is larger than it appears from a frontal view. It has steep cross gables with shingle roof which also covers the porch, which in itself consists of cross gables. The front façade shows shed dormer windows, 6/1 double sash and surrounded by wood shingles. There’s only one chimney which becomes incorporated into the porch. There are wide eaves with brackets with most being at the porch roofline. Most windows are 16/1 double sash except in dormers and the porch. The porch is spacious with the roof supported by large wood posts on blocks of brick, resembling double-shoulder chimneys. The posts are tapered towards the top with recessed panels on each of the fours sides. The angularity of the support provides a pleasurable visual tension, contrasting with the straight lines of the structure. The porch floor is brick but the steps are stone. The door is glass with 15 panes in 5 rows of three each; to either side are narrow 4/1 double sash windows. On the left is a porte-cochère (car-port), giving symmetry to the front façade, balancing the porch extension to the right. The Dr. George C. Shaw House was listed April 28, 1988 on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Oxford Historic District—reference #88000403](http://25.media.tumblr.com/20b6b85ed9ea0d855c9ca385e3e3c3c3/tumblr_mlk8x8DNtR1qzv49bo1_400.jpg)

I Was in the Old Neighborhood for Work by russteaches on Flickr.
So I stopped by the home where I grew up. it is good to see it’s still taken care of, although not to the standards of my meticulous parents.
Looks as if the cool old, crank-out casement windows have been replaced with vinyl versions, the heavy oak front door was replaced with a metal security door and the roof has been re-shingled. New gutters and (poorly crafted) wood trim have been put in place as well.
Quite a few homes in the area are vacant these days but our old block has somehow escaped blight that hit the area so hard.
625 square feet of love and memories felt so much bigger then.
Charles N. Ramsey and Harry E. Weese House by Teemu008 on Flickr.
The Charles N. Ramsey & Harry E. Weese House in Kennilworth (1908). The house was architect Harry (M.) Weese’s boyhood home. It was originally sold by the Kenilworth Company to Charles N. and Katherine A. Ramsey. Charles was a sales manager for Rawson & Evans, a glass and window company. It was sold to Harry Ernest and Marjorie Weese in 1919. Weese graduated from Northwestern University and worked for N. W. Harris & Company (which would later be known as Harris Trust & Saving Bank and is today known as BMO Harris). He was elected Village Clerk in 1922, then later appointed to Village Treasurer in 1925, a position he held for seventeen years. Their eldest son, Harry Mohr Weese was born in 1915, when the family was living in Evanston. By the age of ten, the younger Harry Weese had decided that he wanted to be an artist or architect. He graduated from MIT in 1936 with a Bachelor of Architecture and received his first commission later that year. He attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art with his friend Eero Saarinen in 1938. Returning to MIT, Weese was offered a position as a designer with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1939. He left two years later to start an independent practice.

Bonham TX Queen Anne style home by vintrest on Flickr.
Just a short walk away from the massive funeral home Queen Anne is this great looking home painted in period colors. As far as I could determine, it appears to be currently in use as a restaurant. The lavish use of colors provide quiet a contrast to the black and white of the nearby castle.
