| Additional Information: | PHOTO 182/7 IS FILED WITH THE NR NEGATIVES. SEE NOMINATION FORM. CONTEMPORARY ADDITION AT SIDE AND REAR WHICH IS NON-CONTRIBUTING. PART OF THE ANDREW WARREN HISTORIC DISTRICT. George Maher designed the A. P. Woodson House for Yawkey’s daughter and son-in-law. Dating from 1914, the two-story brick residence features an entry portal sheltered by a broad elliptical arch set atop simple columns. Maher drew primarily on the Prairie style for his design, giving the Woodson House a long rectangular plan, a low-pitched hipped roof, and bands of windows, all emphasizing horizontality. As in other works, Maher also employed a theory of architectural repetition or “rhythm” to unify the composition. Here, he repeats the elliptical arch in the entry portal and in the long, low railing along the front terrace. Arches also appear throughout the interior woodwork, stained- and leaded-glass windows, ceilings, light fixtures, and chairs, all of which Maher himself designed. The present owner of the house, the Immanuel Baptist Church next door, has appended an unsympathetic addition to the Fifth Street elevation, but Maher’s original design remains discernible. |
