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
