DESCRIPTION: |
The
brick house with is moderately pitched hipped gable roof
and brick piers is given distinction through the use of
rafters, heavy brackets and fretwork. These wooden elements
with stylized halftimbering in the dormer and the use
of shingles on the second story bowed balcony and dormer
combine elements of several stylistic modes. Another notable
feature of this house is the large-scaled single hung
windows with leaded glass transoms flanking the leaded
glass doors on the front facade. What makes the transoms
unique to Swiss Avenue is the fact that they open by sliding
up into the wall above. |
