Alta, IA

Some pictures of the new and improved Century Lanes in Alta Iowa.

I recently did an equipment inspection of Dale Davis's home lanes and its 4 new lanes so I figured I would share them with the world.

A little about Alta: Alta, Iowa is a small community, just 4 miles west of Storm Lake, it is a close knit community where everyone looks out for each other. Unlike the bigger areas out real estate market is still going strong. Kids can play outside safely and long walks hold only the threat of a sunburn. Alta is my home, and if I had known there was a place like Alta I would have raised my boys here. This is a place where people still worship in God's house on Sunday, and God's house is the place where the Word of God comes alive through all the inspired words of the Bible.

This first home is one of the most beautiful and ornate, of the Victorians in my area.  It has curved glass in several windows and a classic paint scheme.  This location is referred to as Victorian corner and there are several additional homes on the block and the adjacent block. The second picture is of the same house in the previous post but from a different angle.  What craftsmanship!

House to the north on Victorian Corner.  Last year on this block a grand old Victorian, that was in very bad shape, was purchased by a young couple they put in a lot of work and it is now a very grand home.  Pictures of that later! 

Winter Picture of our local area! Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood, just across the street to the south is another big ornate Victorian home. This home is one of the finer examples of this architecture, but these homes are found in most communities in our area. Check out the next post to see the Victorian home across the street.

Just after Christmas 2007.
