These two houses both show an unusually ornate, almost baroque, form of Georgian style, and we imagine they were drawn by the same hand. They both now belong to the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese.
The half-round projection on the front porch makes both an impressive and a welcoming entrance.
Picking out your baroque details in this color of paint is the next best thing to using actual gold leaf.
The carriage house matches the main house, right down to the distinctive lintels over the windows.
This house, which is now the chancery for the Archdiocese, has suffered a few more alterations. The big square window in the gable is not old Pa Pitt’s favorite thing, but it probably makes for a bright storage room.
Regular readers might have been disappointed if we had not included a good utility cable.
