Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

A Transformation, and Not in a Good Way

 

Saturday's post featured the beautiful 1906 home of children's author Sidford Hamp, and today's features the neighbor directly to the north. As you can see, it's had a drastic makeover. I'm inclined to be a little forgiving of mindfully tweaking beautiful old homes to give them modern touches, but this is, well, hideous. What a terrible mistake. Although this circa 1898 home was never quite as grand as its neighbors, it certainly had charm and it fit right in. (If you're curious, you can see what it used to look like HERE.) Now it sticks out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way. Alas, I don't think there's much you could do to fix what's been done to it. What a pity.

Yikes is a good word here.

That's terrible! The old Springs dwindles every week it seems.
