芒特普莱森特是一座古老的城镇，没有两栋并排的房屋似乎具有相同的建筑风格，十九世纪的维多利亚时代建筑与色彩柔和的战后漫步建筑形成鲜明对比。大多数房子都有传统的花园，花园里种着万寿菊和百日草，有些还种着高过头的向日葵。
(Mount Pleasant was an older town, where no two houses, standing side by side, seemed to come out of the same architectural style, with nineteenth-century Victorians up against pastel-colored postwar ramblers. Most of the houses had traditional flower gardens with marigolds and zinnias, and some with head-high sunflowers.)
