Today I have two views, holdovers from Doors Open, of the Greek Ambassador's residence in the Glebe. I first introduced it to you here. This is a different angle for the front of the residence, up on the hill overlooking the Rideau Canal.
While this is at the back. If the residence participates next year, I'll have to photograph the garden.
Lovely front!
ReplyDeleteMore than a normal house looks like a palace.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
A very handsome house.
ReplyDeleteNot bad ! :-)
ReplyDeleteI imagine that covered walkway comes in handy at times during the year.
ReplyDeleteAppropriate for an ambassador.
ReplyDeleteVery sound construction I'd say.
ReplyDeletei like the porches and railings!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding front entrance.
ReplyDelete@Linda: I always liked passing by the place on the sidewalk, and wondered what the interior would be like.
ReplyDelete@Tomas: The architect really designed it well.
@Stuart: it is.
@Karl: it's quite a place.
@Revrunner: definitely.
@Marianne: quite true.
@Sharon: it is built to last.
@Tex: so did I.
@Birdman: yes!
I like the first shot, the ambassador must have a great view from there.
ReplyDeleteNot bad as a residence, it is a very nice building!
ReplyDeleteWas good to go back and see the interior of the residence William, looking forward to seeing how they've designed the garden.
ReplyDeleteNice pad, though un-Greek, but of course it isn't IN Greece! ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember this one. Such a nice place to live.
ReplyDeleteNice looking place!
ReplyDeleteTHAT's whose that is. I've driven by it.I used to drive downtown for choir.
ReplyDelete@Jan: it's definitely a good view.
ReplyDelete@VP: the architect, Noffke, really knew what he was doing. There are a good number of his homes in that part of Ottawa.
@Grace: I must remember it for next year!
@Bibi: no, it predates the Greek embassy purchasing it for the ambassador, but I imagine the residents like it.
@Judy: it is!
@Luis: I thought so.
@Jennifer: there are quite a lot of embassies and ambassador's residences scattered through older parts of the city.
I would enjoy going on a tour of this house. Great photos William and a very nice post as always.
ReplyDeleteI remember that green thingy. It's a beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the previous post. I am fascinated by architecture, so I like all three views, and those interiors, too. I agree that the garden would surely make a good addition to your series. Does the cover over the sidewalk stay there when it snows?
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely old house!
ReplyDeleteIs there a red carpet under the green canopy?
ReplyDelete@Denise: thank you!
ReplyDelete@Ciel: it's a place with character.
@Lynette: as I recall, yes, but I don't pass by that place in the winter often. It would make sense to keep it up though, since it keeps those stairs sheltered.
@Cheryl: thank you!
@Norma: I think so too.
@Paul: no, just the steps.
It's a gorgeous old house!
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteAt first look I thought that covered walkway was some type of waterslide. Now that would be a fun way to exit a building. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt would be.
DeleteWilliam, your first photo is pretty special.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou must have taken a week off work during Doors Open in order to see so many places!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's just the two days.
DeleteThis old place has tons of character...except for that "caterpillar" leading to the front door. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that!
DeleteVery nice. Inspires me to get back outside with my camera.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
