"Bev's New House"
Raleigh, NC - December 2008 (Click to embiggen)
This is the "Executive Mansion" (usually referred to as the Governor's Mansion) in downtown Raleigh. It changed hands most recently in November of 2008 when North Carolina elected its first female Governor, Bev Purdue.

this picture reminds me of a movie called rose or ruby rose or something like that... about a house the builds itself and harms those who harm it?
For a second, I thought someone had bought out Sepia Scenes from Mary...
Does look rather haunting, like a house from a movie. Rebecca? Maybe not that haunting.
Looks spooky like from a scary movie! ;D
I know it's the color, that is a huge mansion.
Hummmm, looks like a ghost house.
Sort of House of Usher looking, isnt it?
The sepia tones give it a old feel and almost eerie quality.
The sepia highlights the castle of a governor's mansion. This has the look of an English manor...minus the moat, I would guess!
I hope Bev will be very happy here ;-) It almost makes me want to hum the theme song from The Munsters show.
beautifully framed thru the fence and trees
Bev has nice house to go home to at night, doesn't she? Hope she's doing a good job.
Through the gate & those trees, it looks kind of like a haunted house. Cool!
Spook!!! :P
When you mentioned it has got a female Governor, I'm reminded of Snow White's evil step-mom. *slap.forehead*
The fence, trees and sepia tones really set the mood. At first, I thought it was an abandoned mansion.
That fence makes it look a bit sinister, although that's probably par for the course for the epicenter of power ;-).
I agree with shadow, it reminded me of the movie rose red--which features a really creepy old house in Seattle that is alive--great photo. I love the dark fence in front of the almost washed out home. It makes the building appear ghostly. Stop by to see my sepia scene
Hey, Mojo!
It looks so pretty, I'm sure the new guvnah is having a wonderful time. There has to be so much history there.
