Group Description

Pictures of residential HOUSES with towers or turrets, old or new. Little towers, big towers, falling down towers, remuddled towers, even cupolas, it doesn't matter, if it's a house with a tower, it belongs here!!

Vintage photographs or postcards featuring such houses are okay, too. In fact, they're welcomed! I'd love to see some more vintage photographs here.

I want to keep this pool open and free, so please be kind and follow a few minor rules:

1.) Please try to keep it to towered residential architecture ONLY. This is very important. RESIDENTIAL. What is residential?

- YES - Single family homes with towers
- YES- Row houses, townhouses, or duplexes with towers.
- YES- Formerly single-family homes that are now multi-family homes or commercial businesses (think house turned into a cafe) are welcomed.
- OK - Lighthouses (that someone lives in) and castles, palaces, etc. (that someone lives in or once lived in) are somewhat grudgingly accepted, but please don't flood the pool with them.
- OK - If a school, library, church, etc. has been TURNED INTO A HOME, it is okay. But if it is not a house, please do not add it. If it is a building that is not obviously to the average person a *home*, it must mention this in the description, or else how will I know?
- YES - Vintage photos or postcards of the above mentioned architecture.

Please Remember:

- NO Public buildings
- NO Government buildings
- NO Commercial buildings (please see our sister group)
- NO Churches (unless remodeled into a home)
- NO Schools (unless remodeled into a home)
- NO Libraries (unless remodeled into a home)
- NO Clock Towers (unless it is a private residence)
- NO Light houses (unless there is a house attached)
- NO Apartment buildings
- NO Barns (unless someone lives there/private home)
- NO Prisons
- NO interior shots.

2.) The tower MUST be visible in EVERY shot you add to the pool. Detail shots of the tower are a-ok.

3.) If you have photos of commercial buildings that have towers, please consider our sister group:
www.flickr.com/groups/commercialbuildingswithtowers Small scale buildings only, no skyscrapers.

4.) If I can't tell from the photograph and your description if it is a house, if it looks like a government building or a church etc., and there is no description or explanation stating otherwise, I will probably remove your photo from the pool. No hard feelings, but if I can't tell that it's a house, then it shouldn't be in "Houses" with Towers. I appreciate your participation and if you have any sort of question, please ask!

5.) And no naughty stuff! >:O

Your photo will be removed without notice if one cannot tell from the description that it is a private home. I hate to be so whiny about it, but a clean pool is a happy pool.
