A great thank you to Clam for his awesome houses.

I want to thank Malc for the awesome houses he has been creating. They are perfect for my area that I've been searching for houses to populate. It's not like we don't have a lot of houses already, but these are more appropriate for the northeastern part of the US where I come from.

Here are some building that are similar from Pennsylvania and a historic house in Berwick, Maine.

I like those houses too. The Welsh and the Irish settled in great parts of the eastern PA when they came over to work in the coalmines and slate quarries. Jim Thorpe PA has some interesting houses and buildings which look very similar to these along their High Street.

Up where I am in New England, we have more wood and brick buildings but also some quarried stone buildings from the same period.

Malc (Clam1952) really did a great job with these and as I said they fit in perfectly on my routes.

Up here we were happy in anything that was warmer than the outdoors. Those houses are really nice. I have one area on my route where I might get away with a couple of those beauties....Snob's Hill, only the super rich Americans could afford to live up there! The rest of us were dealing with "hard times in the Maritimes".

Cheers Y'all....Rick

Just had a peek at Clam's new bungalows this morning. Now those are something a Bluenoser MIGHT be able to afford! Back in the 1950's, I think we were just clawing our way out of the "dirty thirties". We were way behind the rest of the country. I used to go on a ride with the milkman now and then. It was kind of an ice box on wheels...one horse powered. Now, I know we were a little behind, but a year earlier when I was 4 and 5 years old (55 and 56) I was "the helper" on a fruit and veg wagon, also a one horse power unit in Portsmouth, England. Anyway....great houses, thanks Clam! In the southend of Halifax, many of Clam's larger houses would fit right in.

No offence my southern brothers, I know you're all not super rich. If you were, you'd be up here, in beautiful Nova Scotia, living in a mansion!

Cheers....Rick

I'd like to join in and say that (Clam) you are another one of the few that I do a blanket download from. < author/ clam1952> [select all] [download], it's a no-brainer, all you do is what I need.

Thank you so very much.

Hi Rick,

They are the high street mansions down here too. I put them out on the point along the shore on one of my routes and along the main road in a town just like in Newbury or Newburyport down here. These are like the old sea captain's houses in Newbury and Newburyport. All I need to find is a white fence with the pineapple topped posts to put in front of the houses then this will be perfect.

We lost a lot too during the depression right through the 1970s as the mills closed and either went out of business or moved elsewhere. In fact we've never recovered after that and our railroads show it as well with lots of closed branches and long gone sidings.
