Before us stands a magnificent example of Victorian architecture executed in brick. This three-story building showcases the characteristic features of Gothic Revival with its expressive pointed arches above windows and doorways. The facade is constructed of red brick, creating a warm, rich background for the dark decorative elements and frames.
Particularly impressive is the corner tower with its elegant mansard roof and spire. This tower with a bay window gives the building a sense of verticality and serves as an architectural focal point that catches the eye. The mansard roof with gray slate covering and decorative dormer windows adds a sophisticated silhouette to the building.
The facade is richly detailed: arched windows with skillfully executed casings, a decorative frieze under the cornice, and delicate brickwork with dark accents. The granite base creates a solid foundation and visual contrast with the brickwork above. A street lamp in historical style complements the overall atmosphere and emphasizes the historical value of the building.
When designing the facade of your own home, you can draw inspiration from this example, borrowing individual elements: contrasting combination of materials, decorative arches above windows, the use of bay windows to create a volumetric solution, or a thoughtful combination of brickwork with decorative elements. Even in a modern house, the skillful use of such details can create a sense of solidity and sophistication characteristic of historical architecture.
