ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION: |
The
large residence is basically a Georgian design. Typical
elements of this period are interpreted in a larger scale
and in a more elaborate manner than in the original Georgian
Period. This is most easily seen in the slightly projecting
center pavilion which utilizes a large order of pilasters,
and the smaller orders used on the porches. A Palladian
window most normally located in the second story is, in
this residence, incorporated in a dormer on the roof.
The triple windows below produce the effect of a two-story
Palladian element capped by a deep cornice. |
| OF
INTEREST: |
This home was built for W.O. Womack who unfortunately
died before its completion. Mr. Womack did, however,
add many personal details to the house, including a solarium
with a grotto surfaced entirely in Rookwood pottery
and tile. |
