Facade #194

The image showcases an attractive example of Southern American architecture in either Folk Victorian or early Colonial Revival style. This two-story mansion features a light yellow (or cream) exterior with a characteristic symmetrical façade composition.

The building's façade is distinguished by an extensive first-floor veranda with classical columns, creating a welcoming space for relaxation. The veranda roof serves as a balcony for the second floor. Particularly eye-catching are the window openings with traditional teal-colored shutters that contrast beautifully with the main tone of the building. Above one of the entrances, there is a distinctive green arched awning.

Architectural details include a hipped roof with a gentle slope, neat cornices, and decorative trim. Flower boxes can be seen on the second-floor windows, adding picturesqueness to the building. The house is framed by lush tropical vegetation, including palm trees and ornamental plantings, emphasizing its southern location.

In front of the house lies a well-maintained garden with decorative fencing and brick pillars. The cobblestone street in the foreground gives the entire composition a historic character, indicating that the house is likely located in a historic district with a preserved authentic environment.
