This First building we looked at is an old Post Office. Some characteristics of the building we noted from our field guide included: the building is not symmetrical, it has flared eaves, smooth brick, its overall horizontal, it is a shingle style building, it has a sloped roof with a hip along, the roof is made of slate, it has decorative graphics, it has a porte-coche (aka the porch) and it has a weathervane on top.
This is the second building that we looked at. From our field guide, we decided that this was a Victorian Home. Other characteristics we noted included: it has squared columns, it has a standing seam roof that is mansard, it has dormer windows, some of those windows are floor to ceiling, it has double hung windows with 4 lights, it has transom windows with 2 lights, it has a Queen Ann porch, and its a vertical style home.
This is the third building we looked at. From our field guide we decided it was a Neoclassical piece of architecture. It is Italian, and from the Early Romantic period. Also noted: it has a gentle holden cornice, it is symmetrical, it has a fan light in the center, the silhouette is blocked, it has a demi-loon half circle, it has a arched lintel, it has keystone on the lintels on all sides, and it has a brick detailed facade called coining.
This is another building that we discussed. We decided that is was built around the 1850's, it was Romantic, and part of the Gothic Revival. We also noticed the right side of the house, and came to the conclusion that it was probably an addition because of the 2nd story windows on the left facade not being a whole story. Also noted: it has bay windows bumping out of the facade and it is overall a horizontal layout.
This is another home that we looked at on the walking tour. We decided that it was possibly built between the 1940's and 50's. Parts of this home were Neogothic and parts were Victorian. Also noted: it has pointed shutters, asphalt shingles, case windows, and those case windows had pediments on them.
