On the street heading out of town south of Washington, Illinois is a classic row of various Victorian Period houses.It's a little difficult to photograph them, as there are so many large, mature and well-maintained trees blocking the view.The southeast side of Washington is the healthy part of the town; walkable communities segue into farmland, while on the northwest side, towards Peoria, farmland is being swallowed up for cookie cutter Mini-McMansions.
