Description
There's something of the fanciful in my naming of this picture of a little red house in Salem. I don't actually know that it ever belonged to a fisherman, but it being situated right at the end of the street near harbor made me feel it must have had a nautical nature about it at some point. You can even see the masts of modern sailboats reaching into the sky beyond that little red house.
What called me down the street, though, wasn't just the rich red tones but the great texture in the peeling paint. There's just something about peeling paint that speaks of history to me, the passage of time. And then my mind starts imagining the past of the house, the people, like my imaginary fisherman, who once dwelled there.
If anybody has a real history of this little red building, I'd love to hear it, but until then, it remains the fisherman's red house at the end of a little lane in New England. I like fanciful.
