A Cubical House in Allentown

114 Millbridge Street

An unusually well-preserved small foursquare house that is charming and handsome in its way, in spite of being an architectural muddle. If you try to judge it by any standard of symmetry or proportion, you will quickly conclude that nothing is in the right place. But even after those thoughts have run through your mind, you are likely to think that somehow, in defiance of all correctness, it is a good-looking house.

  1. No yard whatsoever?

    1. None at all. It seems to have been part of the same property as the Limbach Building, and perhaps it was built as the residence of the owner of that building.
