Houses of Center Street

Steven and I live in right by the "historic" part of Logan. There are some really beautiful houses that line Center Street and over the summer, Steven and I took a walk and took some pictures of the nice ones. I really love houses. I'm always looking at what's for sale around here and I sometimes look at what's for sale in Ithaca area, in Maine and in Oregon as those are all my favorite places. But here are some of the more lovely homes of Logan:






This little house Steven and I looked into renting but by the time I got a hold of the landlord, it was already taken. It was quite cute on the inside with hard wood floors, lots of windows and cute built in cupboards and shelves.

This place looks so out of place in Utah. I think it belongs more in Florida what with the Spanish Tiled roof and stucco siding.







I really just love how this house is covered in cobblestone instead of siding or brick. So unique and cool.


And this is my favorite house in all of Logan. There's 3 different views of it here because it is just so immensely huge you can't really get the full essence of this house in just one picture.


The towers are so pretty and I love the nice huge wrap around porch.


There's several little balconies all around this place and some really nice features around the windows. I actually daydream about this house and always wonder what it's like on the inside. I'm sure it's full of wainscoating and crowned molding and I bet there's some really nice fireplaces. I would love it if one of those rooms with a tower on it is a library where you can sit in the circular area with a really comfy chair, a lamp, and a great book. This house is owned by the Needham family and anyone who's ever lived in Logan knows who they are. They're the jewelers where a lot of people buy engagement rings.
I definitely complain about Logan quite a bit about how cold it is, the wonderful inversion, the way it smells like kitty litter and cows, how they NEVER plow when it does snow, how bad the drivers are, and many other things, but these houses are something that I really do love here. I drive by them everyday on my way to and from work and I always look at them as I go by. So hopefully now you can like what I like about living here!

In a good way, it reminds me a little of the "historic" part of Provo. I love(d) it. I'm glad there are things you like about Logan. I, for one, think the Logan Temple is gorgeous.

By the way, cute baby bump..... It looks good on you. I hope it's comfortable enough, too.

I like the last house. Maybe I'll buy it someday?

Aw, I too enjoy the houses of center street! Whenever we have guests who have never been to logan, I take them down that road while we are in town. They probably think I'm really weird, but some people just don't appreciate it! I feel ya Ronelle. I also really like the cute little houses down 300 S. on the west side, by Crumb Brothers.
