DESCRIPTION: |
This
formal residence has the basic form and fenestration of
the Progessive Mode. Yet it is adorned with details borrowed
widely from more eclectic styles such as the tile roof
and, as can be seen in the following photograph, the Georgian
Style porch and modillions. This confusing mix of styles
presents a strong case for the adaptability of the Progressive
Mode. A combination of modillions and vertical decorations
comprise the large bracket forms which support the wide
overhanging eaves of the tile roof. According to architect
Bertram Hill, the central plaque above the door is cast
stone relief work combining a shield with ribbon and foliage
and was made by an English stonesman. The main door is
framed by paired fluted columns and pilasters with unusual
capitals of acanthus leaves supporting a classical entablature. |
