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.
Notes
This is an undated and unidentified card mounted photograph that was donated in the past by a London resident. The house situated on a rise in a lovely wooded setting is reminiscent of the current Elsie Perrin Williams Estate in London.
The dates and location given are merely speculative.
