A detail from the Mary Tyler Moore house:
An ivy tower – not to be confused with an ivory tower, of course.
This had a lovely witch’s hat sort of look.
A towering fortress?
Ivy, trees, a round porch…
Reminding me of the Tin Man’s hat.
With blue, blue sky…
Ah, poor Chaos – so bored with the windows closed and the air conditioning running!
*sigh* -Chaos
What a cool collection of towers!
I love the Tour of Towers! We have a fair number in our neighborhood too – and some interesting variations.
Poor Chaos! But what a great shot….
A lovely study. I had no idea you had so many towers in your neighborhood.
Poor Chaos! You need to move to a climate where there really is Spring & Fall, since your Mother won’t let you be an inside/outside kitty 😉
Yes, be thankful it is nice and cool inside Chaos!
*sigh* One day I’ll have my cute tower with a circular porch or balcony…
I know it isn’t any consolation, but Jack & Benny know your pain Chaos & they are starting to get feisty about it.
I love a good phallic house 😉 BTW – that witch one – I know that house – I remember it from when I took the 6 bus (I think that was the number)when I worked around Lake Harriet (is that the right name? I forget).
Well, you really *can’t* smell the birds through the window glass, mom…
Chaos, you look like you could use a chin scratch! 🙂
Love the towers! There are some nice ones here on Grand or Summit Aves, too.
I don’t think we have that many towers here, Toto…..
You don’t suffer alone, Chaos. Mom closed the blinds on the front windows so I can’t sit in the chair and bark at everyone going by. She’s so mean.
Love, Gracie
Oh, NEAT! I love towers and the like. You have a lot in your neighbourhood!
I could do a study of ramblers vs. ranch houses!!
Poor Chaos! Beautiful pictures too.
all these towers are very phallic. i say that because they all look a lot like penii
LOVE those towers … very romantic!
Chris- Wouldn’t it be cool to hop in the Tardis and go back to 1970- aside from the hairstyles- and hang out with Mary and Rhoda?
I can see from Chao’s expression that it might be a bad idea.
Poor Chaos. Maybe mom needs to get a kitty harness and take you for a walk. Riiiiiiiight.
I love round towers on houses! Great collection of photos 🙂
I’ve always wanted a home with a turret. thanks for the pictures.
Love the towers, I’ve always wanted to live in a house with one.
Psst, Chaos – have you read the story about Rapunzel yet?
Those are awesome pictures! What a cool house. Poor, poor Chaos 🙂
My favorite parts of Lake of the Isles. When I was a young apartment dweller I used to walk down there and dream of the home I would have someday…I never did get a tower of any sort, though.
Nice towers. I’ve always wanted a tower.
I adore houses with towers! Poor Chaos…summer is a “witch, huh?”
(((Hugs)))
Wow—that’s Minneapolis architecture? I love it!
Fear not, Chaos, for it shall be winter again soon…
What a great tour of towers 🙂
I think Chaos wants to live in a tower. With open windows.
A round porch would be awesome!
I think I like the towering fortress the best. Thanks for the tour!
Poor Chaos. I’m not real fond of the air-conditioning season either.
Cool tour of towers! I’m laughing at the Tin Man hat tower.
the Tinman’s hat…or a spaceship???
Ooh, I love turrets! 🙂
Haha! Awesome photographs! I don’t think we got many towers in L.A. but I can show you the famous witch’s cottage.
Cool pics!
these are great–now I’m feeling nostalgic
