- Description
- An unidentified and undated photograph of a Victorian stone mansion with very ornate fretwork on the porch which stretches the full width across the front of the building. A multitude of decorative brackets under the eaves of the house and the small awnings over the tiny third floor windows are some of the unique details that adorn this house. On the roof, a cupola with a widow's walk crowns the top. A man appears to be stepping up onto the front porch.
