THESE WHIMSICAL — OK, kitschy — mailboxes were photographed by my wasband (wubby?) in upstate New York.

I like to express my individuality indoors, but when it comes to something right out on the road for all passersby to see, I keep a low profile. My own mailbox is brown, to match the house, and that’s that. Though I suppose it would be convenient to say, “It’s the driveway with the rooster.”

If I were to do something creative, mailbox-wise, I think it would be funny to have one in the shape of a snail.

10 REASONS OLD HOUSES ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT IN ANY KIND OF MARKET

1 There is a finite number of them.
2 They are getting rarer.
3 Their construction is solid.
4 They were built to last.
5 They have already passed the test of time.
6 They have detail: moldings, baseboards, panel doors, plasterwork, fireplaces, etc.
7 They are generously proportioned.
8 They’re green: re-using an old house instead of building new saves energy and resources.
9 They have intrinsic value.
10 They hold their value in a downturn.
