Fall River Painted Ladies

Charm on High Street

Tucked away on the east side of High Street are these two delightful capes which face each other like two old friends. Unlike any other architecture to be seen on the street, these two charmers are showing their west side elevations to the street and are easy to miss when driving by.

The unexpected color combinations of sage with violet shutters, surrounded by the white picket fence and exuberant plantings of hot pink cosmos make this gambrel-roofed “Cape Anne”  a Painted Lady of sorts.

The facing sister cape in buttercream paint with chocolate door and shutters boasts a venerable brick chimney and picture book welcome home warmth.
