This is a magnificent example of American architecture from the late 19th century in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The building is constructed of characteristic red brick with a massive brown sandstone foundation. The dominant element of the facade is an expressive corner tower with a copper dome featuring a greenish patina, creating a striking vertical accent.
The facade is rich in architectural details: note the round bay windows with expressive horizontal articulations, arched windows and doorways characteristic of the Romanesque style. The mansard roof with multiple chimneys adds majesty to the building. Masterful facade design is evident in the harmonious combination of various textures and materials: brick, stone, copper, and wooden elements.
When designing a modern house, one can borrow some techniques: contrasting combination of materials (such as brick and stone), use of arched elements to give the facade expressiveness, accentuating the corners of the building with architectural projections or turrets. It's also worth paying attention to harmonious landscaping, which complements and softens the monumentality of the architecture.
