| Additional Information: | This two-story brick house has details that reflect the Mediterranean Revival style. The house has a hip roof covered with clay tile. There are some decorative brackets under the eaves of the roof. The house is constructed of brick and most of the trim is done in stone. Windows on the first story main facade are multi-light sashes with fanlight transoms and decorated with a stone surround. A set of three sash windows topped with small fanlight transoms decorates the ell of the building. Upper windows are mostly sashes with single lower lights and multiple upper lights, Above the main entrance is a set of three multi-light windows decorated with stone surrounds in an arcaded effect. The main entrance is decorated with an impressive frontispiece consisting of pilasters, entablature, and fanlight pediment with a leaf decoration. The door is also decorated with sidelights. This house is architecturally significant as a fine example of the Mediterranean Revival style. This style was one of the popular period revival styles of the early twentieth century. It features tile roofs, brick walls, and classical details. This house, with its fine tile roof and impressive and well-executed stone trims in a classical motif, represents the style well. The house is a formal and elegant design, while not being institutional. This was the home of Edward Lyons between 1909 and 1919. The house was probably built for Lyons, the President of the Standard Lime and Stone Company. At the present time this house is not historically significant. Further research may uncover information that makes the house significant in the future. |
