DESCRIPTION: |
The
stately brick residence exhibits many Georgian elements.
The central pavilion is slightly projected from the body
of the house and is capped by a triangular pediment in
which is centered a glazed rondel. The entry doors are
recessed behind a pair of attenated Doric columns flanked
by matching pilasters. The front facade is accented by
brick quoins on all corners, and heavy dentils support
the tile hipped roof. However, the dentils are out of
scale, almost suggesting brackets, and the iron balconies
on the second floor are completely out of character with
Georgian elements. French doors flanked by sidelights
and topped by rectangular transoms open onto a terrace
which runs the full length of the house and is enclosed
by a cast stone balustrade. The second floor fenestration
is decidely Progressive and not in keeping with the Georgian
elements. The house is constructed of tna brick and not
the red brick with white trim that is considered a typical
feature of the Georgian Style. |
