The Villa Marre

Today was one of those grim days where you realize that there are more people that want your money than you have to give them. Went down to the bank to deposit a pittance into my account and decided to cruise around the Quapaw Quarter to check out the old houses.

The first two pictures are the Villa Marre which was built in 1881 by an Italian immigrant named Angelo Marre.

The third picture is of a house sitting catty-corner to the Villa Marre. I wish I could have gotten a better picture, but I only had one shot at it.

The heat was awful and my car has developed a tendency to overheat in its old age. Figured that I shouldn't press my luck. If the promised cold front rolls through later this week, I may make another trip.
