Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Italianate (Late Victorian) <br />DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND REUATUD TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE: <br />The Italianate (Late Victorian) style is chiefly identified by its window treatment: tall, relatively narrow, double-hung sash, with flat, <br />arched, or flattened arch heads often emphasized by hood moldings. Other typical features include low hipped or flat roofs, bracketed <br />cornices, and, particularly in residential examples, a square tower or cupola. In commercial usage, a raised pediment bearing the <br />name or date of the building is not uncommon. A variety of siding materials are used, usually with stringeourses between stories, and <br />sometimes with wall planes framed by quoins. Used for both residential and commercial buildings from the mid nineteenth century <br />through the 1890s, the Italianate style was adapted to "Main Street" commercial buildings and simplified, becoming the "commercial <br />vernacular" of the era (Whiffen, 99). <br />cmlhistori0templatesTighth E 321 (Chilton Howc) <br />12120!01 <br />Pagel of 4 <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />25F-9
