More of a facetious comment; my botched attempt at a joke if you will ;-) I like the entire stretch of pastel colors here, the turquoise color blends well while at the same time standing out. Jeff, you do live in a beautiful neighborhood, and when the cultural trail connects Fletcher Place to downtown, it will be awesome.
Jeff, you have done a wonderful job at keeping a historic home. It is gorgeous and very intact. A home that has seen this city change. BTW, the victorians loved color, so this is a lovely paint job. ;)
"Turquoise sheep"?? Great name for a paint color. Years ago when I was painting houses like these we were painting this house a brown color and the color named on the can was "cold coffee" We got to talking about what a great job it would be to work for a paint company sitting around a table all day drinking coffee and coming up with goofy names for paint colors like San Fernando Red.
There used to be a pink house in Indy, as I recall I think it was off the southbound lanes of West St. just south of McCarty. I can see from the satellite shot that some of the houses on Chadwick St. are still there. I wonder if you scraped into the paint of one of them you'd find pink underneath. Maybe it was the one John Mellencamp saw that provided the inspiration for Pink Houses. The way he tells it he saw it driving from the airport to Bloomington. This isn't really on the best route to Bloomington but it isn't too much of a stretch to think that he would have gone by this spot if he took a wrong turn out of the airport.

Not sure if "turquoise sheep" is meant as a compliment or not (I suspect not) but that's my house. I guess I'm biased, but I like it. : )
Fletcher Place is a great downtown neighborhood. Can't wait for the cultural trail to come through later this year.
