I drive past this house every day on my way to/from just about anywhere. It is located in Lancaster just outside of my circa 1980s subdivision, and its backyard actually meets up with backyards of the houses on my street. While many other people in the area have cookie cutter "suburban" houses, this home, to me, is reminiscient of the dream dollhouse I wanted for my Barbies growing up. It looks like an Eastlake version of the Queen Anne style with all that woodwork on the porch. I'm sure this house was one of the first built in the area and predates any home in "Heritage Heights" or whatever other named neighborhood is close by. As if the house wasn't over the top already, it used to have carousel horses (think merry-go-round in the Boulevard Mall) on display on the porch railing. No word on why they were removed, but those horses definitely took house adornments to a whole new level.
