| Additional Information: | This two-story house has one-story wings off of each side of the main block. The main block of the house has a gable roof, while the roofs of the wings are hipped. The house is covered with clapboards and there is little architectural trim. The wings both have porches that are supported by one square post. The house has regular fenestration and symmetrical features. The most common features of the style include symmetry of plan, regular fenestration, and simple classical details. While this house has few details, its regular plan and fenestration are hallmarks of the style. It is unusual to see a house in the "temple with wings" plan, most simple Greek Revival houses in the state are main blocks with one ell. These features make this house special. |
