Structure Description

This residence has a spectacular turret crowned with a Moorish cap and finial anchors one corner. The Park Place side centers on a massive horseshoe arch, while an elaborately patterned chimney highlights the 12th Street elevation. Glass jewels are worked into simple floral motifs in the transoms of the front windows. In a small bow to classicism, the attic is lit through three part Palladian windows.
