Gable roofed two-story house with cornice returns and half-circle window in gable end, six over clear plate glass windows, and gabled projecting entrance with compound round arch doorway. 2015- "These three [2520, 2526 and 2532 Edgewood Pl.] two-story brick Colonial Revival residences share a similar style, location and construction date. The defining elements of the Colonial Revival Style are a rectangular, side-gabled mass, central entry, symmetrically placed multi-pane double-hung windows and neo-Classical doorway ornamentation. These residences are three bays wide with a brick exterior, single flanking chimney and decorative shutters. The Orton House [2526] has an off-set entry instead of the typical central entry. All three residences have ornamented door surrounds, providing differentiation in their otherwise similar facades. The Osweiler House has a broken pediment over the entry wuith a wooden sunburst typmanum over the door. The Orton House has a door surround with a horizontal projecting cornice supported by fluted pilasters. The McKenna House has projecting brick entry with recessed arches topped by a simple pediment. The Colonial Revival style became popular in America after the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893, where Greek and Roman were the dominant architecutral motifs. In the Midwest, classically influenced two-story residences are often referred to as Colonials, reflecting the region from which the classical form was established." -"La Crosse, Wisconsin: Edgewood Place Residential Historic District Tour", Prepared by Eric J. Wheeler, (2015). |
