The term "painted lady" is an architectural term for Victorian houses painted with three or more colors to accentuate gingerbread details and delineate different sections of a house. Painted ladies can be found anywhere homeowners have either adhered to original color schemes of the late 19th century or chosen to capture one of the most exuberant expressions of the Victorian age. Reminiscent of houses in San Francisco, this painted lady stands on "Upper Hampshire" on the steep hill above Coventry Village. | Source: J. Mark SoutherDownload Original File
