Stone-and-Shingle Cottage in Dormont

1708 Potomac Avenue

Stone below and shingle above—a popular combination in the 1920s, but almost all such houses have had their shingles replaced with artificial siding. On this house in Dormont, however, the shingles remain. The roof and windows are newer replacements, but otherwise this house stands just about as it was originally built.

Note how the basement garage door is carefully matched to the rest of the house.
