Description
Sarasota, Florida has a huge number of lovely vintage houses in what some call "Old Florida Style." Typically, this style is Italian Renaissance, but there are coastal cottage styles like this one, bungalows, and many other styles from the 1920s through the 1950s. This example was photographed in the downtown area known as "Laurel Park", where there are strict rules in place for maintaining the historic homes, but it seems that it's "anything goes" for gardens. This front fence is made from cement blocks usually used in the construction of houses. But in this case, the blocks have been decorated with colorful mosaic tilework made from broken dishes and pottery. I thought this deserved a close-up, but I've also included a couple of shots from farther back, showing the rest of the fence, which is made from old window frames and rusty wrought iron in this very overgrown garden.
