Harsha House
Location: 103 State, downtown Charlevoix, MI.
Approaching Harsha House from State Street, you are greeted by
a front
walk flanked with geranium-filled antique planters. The building is a
lovely Victorian, painted cream with light yellow accent. In the lawn off to the
right is a circular flowerbed displaying pink Spirea, Hosta and Impatiens. On the
right, in front of the porch, Hydrangea and other old fashioned flowers grace
the foundation. A memorial rose garden blooms on the left side of the porch
steps. Stepping through the traditional wood-framed screen door you will find
the headquarters of the Charlevoix Historical Society along with the museum and
the museum store.
Outside, the side yard is bound by a white picket fence with Day Lily, Heliopsis, Daisy, Snow on the Mountain and other self-seeders and spreaders filling the bed with old style charm.
