Dickinson Center, New York - Part 2

I continued my driving tour of Dickinson Center, finding it to be surprisingly pleasant and livable:

There were town type houses and old farm houses with barns:

Houses with former carriage houses now used as garages:

Lots of front porches:

Big, expensive homes and more economical homes:

As I passed into more farm country, I stopped to say "Howdy" to these cattle (and one horse) in a field alongside the road:

And the front yards became bigger as things got more rural. I'm guessing that Dickinson Center is a sort of bedroom town for people with good jobs in Malone, just 20 miles to the east (and there'd certainly be no traffic jams to contend with on that commute!):

Another lovely old barn, soon to be only a memory:

This interesting home must have been a church at one time:

And this town type building may have housed a general store some time long ago:

I passed nice homes all decorated for Christmas:

Lots of big trees shading country homes. But Dickinson Center was proving to be so much more than I'd expected that I continued driving and snapping pictures. I'll post more of them tomorrow:
