(1868: Wellsville, NY) This home was designed by E.B. Hall along with Henry Searle & Sons, Architects (1809-92). The basic style is Italiante with a few exceptions and additions. It is a beautiful example of gingerbread, marked by the bold contrast of bright pink and white. The central tower and roof ornamentation really make this an intriguing architectural pleasure.

(1866: Kennebunk, ME) This home is a good example of the concave mansard roof and cupola. The large Palladian windows really give it a formal look. This home does not have a great deal of ornamentation. The contrast of white on blue allows the viewer to appreciate the appliqué’s.

(1885: Newnan, GA) This home is a cornucopia of styles and colors. Starting off with the French Second Empire style and ending with a breathtaking wraparound porch indicative of the Queen Anne style.

(1872: Hudson, NY) This house was designed by Frederick Edwin Church. He was one of the most successful American landscape artists of the 19th century. The walls, constructed of ashlar, are decorated with polychrome bricks and tiles to create the mosaic look.
