William Berry's House

William Berry’s House

I’d had an idea to name this post as ‘a spooky house in the park’. As a new resident of Minneapolis (USA) for less than a month, the house looked to me just like a ‘cute’ installment at the park. I changed my mind after reading the house history from the website of the Friends of the Loring Park.

Located in Loring Park, a park that existed from Year 1883, the house was built as the office of William Berry, the first park superintendent in Minneapolis. According to the Friends of the Loring Park, the house was constructed in 1889, and it served for 17 years as his office. The house had changed its functions after his retirement but later in 1998, the house was restored to its origins and became one of the Minneapolis park’s historical monuments. I have never realized the house was old, impressive!

Oh well, there is nothing spooky from this house 👻👀

  1. It’s still looks like a spooky house in the park. Maybe the story they wrote is a ruse intended to cover up their nefarious activities.

    • The winter brings new perspective in my photography, Sue 🙂 I count it as a new blessing (but cursing at the same time how cold it could be 😀 ) My apology for late responds, I had crappy flu this week, I still have to adapt with the North American’s winter..

  2. A night shot, with a mobile phone camera, without a tripod… you have got a very steady pair of hands, Indah 🙂

    Beautiful images and thank you so much for sharing 🙂

    • Thank you so much Sreejith. The credit goes to the mobile camera’s lens. I captured couple images during the night time and the result was impressive. It has ISO up to 800 – not bad 🙂
