Edward Hopper House


I walked by this house in my neighborhood and felt like I was looking at an Edward Hopper painting. I love the oval window and the pumpkin (yay! pumpkin!) on the front porch, adding a touch of color to what is mostly stark white. It's rare to see a house of this kind (especially in the city) left so simple, so visually uncluttered. It looks more like it belongs on a wind-swept isle off of Maine, or Nova Scotia, than right in the middle of Somerville.
