Walking Around Jerry's Neighborhood in Rotterdam, New York

My mother-in-law, Jerry, lives in a Rotterdam neighborhood several blocks from City of Schenectady.










According to Zillow.com,
Jerry's home was built
in 1916.












This two family house was
built in 1936.






The darker siding on the
front of this house
caught my eye.






I noticed several design elements of an Arts and Crafts, or Craftsman style house.  The low pitched roof, wide eaves and exposed roof rafters are some of the external elements of this type of home.






The shrubbery planted close
to the house obscures
many of the house's features.









This house is in need
of repair.












Some homes, like this one,
have multiple additions.













Some of the newer homes
are ranches.











There are a few raised ranches
 in the neighborhood.













A growing number of houses
have solar panels.






This four by nine block neighborhood has a wide variety of housing
