OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

This house is considered an excellent example of vernacular architecture in that it is not likely the work of an academically-trained architect, but rather represents the work of a highly skilled craftsman with extensive experience in his trade. With its hipped roof, square and symmetrical facade, large chimneys, and front door with a transom light and two sidelights, it is essentially a Regency design – a style more popular in the 1820s/30s. However, the house also has 1850s/60s Italianate features, such as paired brackets decorating the extra-wide boxed cornice and a door and windows with curved stone lintels. The house also has a small Gothic-style gable with a low pitch that breaks up the straight roof line. It is highly likely that some of the woodwork in the house came from Scarlett’s own mill.
