Sideways House

The Sirrine House is a place that I've visited before on this little blog of mine. Being the oldest home in the city, it has a special kind of charm that can only come with age. Built in 1896, this tiny, brick home has a slight slant to it, not so much that you feel like you're walking sideways when you step onto its wrap around patio, but just enough so that its evident in any picture you might take. The slight slant in every one of these pictures drove me a bit crazy when we were taking them on fairly warm day in Mesa, but I've come to realize that the cockeyed view of the home is just how it will be, and has been for over 100 years now (and that's kind of amazing!)....
