YEAR BUILT:1880s STYLE:QUEEN ANNE ARCHITECT:UNKNOWN (POSSIBLY WHITNEY LEWIS) This home displays many of the characteristics of American Queen Anne style, with its combination of shingles and clapboards, bay windows that morph from polygon to rectangle to gable, bargeboards with rows of little nipples on the gables, and decorative brackets of an unusual scalloped form. However, the facade one sees today is the result of painstaking restoration. When the present owners acquired the house, it had undergone conversion to two-family use, the insertion of a garage in the basement, and enclosure of the porches. The garage remains, but the other, less sympathetic changes have been reversed. The most impressive original interior feature is the staircase. The walnut balustrade, with its lattice and turned spindles, is a wonderful example of Anglo-Japanese style. Note the sunflowers which march along the top of the wainscot. The colored-glass window here is a replacement, the original having disappeared when a second front door was inserted to serve the upper flat. Much of the original door and window trim was lost during a quick-and-dirty deleading job; only their pristine condition betrays the newness of the authentic replacements.
