They lived in a darling little house in Denver, but had to vacate because it was being torn down for one of those ugly condos that you have shown. They knew they could never afford a home of their own and didn't like what was happening with housing there. I'm happy she's back home and they've found a cute little house that they are renovating and love. It is so sad to see the decline of lovely older neighborhoods even though we live in the country. Take care.

We live in a condo, also, but ours are nothing like those, plus we're semi in the country. Anyways, what a great post you found and I wanted to thank you for sharing this at Share Your Style.Carol @ The Red Painted Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491459938837000975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-12995023815242803262018-01-26T19:08:44.429-07:002018-01-26T19:08:44.429-07:00Pat, I love your post about a post!

I went to it three times before I found anyone there. I bought all three. He charged me $50 each, but they go for about $200. They are in my garage right now. I thought I would use them on our she shed, but they were too large. I have one just like them that I bought years ago in my entry and I love it. Old pillars have such character, I think. I hate that similar housing is popping up around here as well. Thanks for sharing with SYC. <br />hugs,<br />Jann Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-56947110567306542472018-01-25T22:58:21.402-07:002018-01-25T22:58:21.402-07:00Pat, Good for you to save a bit of history.

The Denver Highlands neighborhood was able to change zoning laws to stop older bungalows from being torn down, and I hope your neighborhood can do the same. It is sad to see history so hastily erased.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-42392795010503185082018-01-25T18:26:37.068-07:002018-01-25T18:26:37.068-07:00Thank you for sharing your cool find with us at Sn...Thank you for sharing your cool find with us at Snickerdoodle.Sharon @ Blue Willow Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171466785015458506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-43483495822581553892018-01-25T15:23:19.567-07:002018-01-25T15:23:19.567-07:00I love love love your rescued post!
