Tour of Historic Victoria

This morning, we had breakfast and then we headed out to downtown Victoria.  We walked the downtown streets and then walked the historic district. 

This gazebo is found on the downtown plaza in the center of town.  This is a very nice park.

This monument commemorates all of the soldiers who have served the US Forces.

Beautiful area to just sit and relax.

This is the Rose Bud Restaurant.  One of the oldest restaurants in Victoria.

Downtown street.                                   Sue and Patsy on the plaza grounds....

The architecture is beautiful on this old Courthouse. 

Side view of the Courthouse.

Beautiful architecture on this building.  

The St. Mary's Catholic Church in the background and the Nazareth Academy in foreground.

 

Awesome architecture.

The Santa Rosa Oaks area has old homes that have been restored.  They are very nice and have a lot of detail.

All of the homes pictured are presently private homes.

This old building used to be a lumber yard.  It stands amidst the neighborhood.

There is a lot of detail to these houses.

Some are very colorful.

This is what the old houses looked like before they were restored.  

Work has started on this old house.  A lot of work and money are invested in these restorations.

Then we moved to the mansion area.   A yardman is working this house. 

Check out the greenery artwork.   Isn't that awesome?!!

It was a breathtaking walk through this area.  Just beautiful homes!

Colorful and beautiful boganvillias.

This used to be a funeral home up until a few years.   It is now business offices.

More private homes....

Thank you, Patsy for the tour of downtown Victoria.   We really enjoyed it.
