ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION: |
The
house with a composition of gables, arches, and pavillions,
continues the trend of incorporating various forms and
details from historic architectural periods to produce
a contemporary residence. While the house has basic symmetry
comparable to other residences on the street, the one-story
semi-circular bay contrasted against the arched entry
portico producse an overall impression of asymmetry and,
strangely enough, the steep gable of the entry portico
appears to be hiding a classical pavillion with a triangular
pediment. |
| OF
INTEREST: |
This home, which was probably built for speculation, was
first occupied by Robert Coleman, assistant pastor of the
First Baptist Church and an internationally known songbook
publisher, and his son-in-law, D.T. Hamilton. |
