The Old Houses of the 1920s

The street curved ahead of me, and I followed it past more old houses. From a bit worse for wear, whose lawns had taken over the flower beds or had a broken window up high in the attic. This one was the one that all the kids dared each other to approach on Halloween night. Across the street there was a tall Victorian, painted in several bright shades of yellow and pink,. with a small turret on the top floor and windows of stained glass. In the 1920s, it said, and it was still here.
