ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION: |
The
house defies classification in as much as it reinterprets
Georgian elements in a non-historic manner. The porch
and dormers hint at a Palladian influence. The main roof
is a jerkinhead while the side wings have full gabled
roofs. These wings are fenestrated in a Progressive manner,
whereas the main facade has separated windows in an Eclectic
form. |
| OF
INTEREST: |
This home was built for Theodore Marcus, a merchant
exporter and later vice president of his brotherês store,
Neiman Marcus. Theodore Marcus' sister, Carrie Marcus
Neiman, also lived on Swiss Avenue. |
