  • Four Houses on Thomas Boulevard, North Point Breeze

    7211 Thomas Boulevard

    Four different houses in four different styles. We begin with the biggest: a Georgian mansion with a gambrel roof, built a little before 1910.

    A classic foursquare on a generous scale, with “modern Ionic” porch columns and classical detailing in the dormer and oriel.

    This “old English” design has some fancy brickwork and even fancier woodwork in the gable, partly obscured by vines.

    Finally, an eclectic design of the type Pa Pitt often calls “center-hall foursquare,” with a harmonious mixture of influences from Georgian to Prairie Style.

  • Center-Hall House in Park Place

    This house in what Father Pitt sometimes calls center-hall foursquare style was probably built in the 1890s, and its flared rooflines (even on the dormers) and angular brickwork must have looked very modern.
