This impressive mansion represents an exquisite example of Romanesque Revival architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century. The massive stone facade constructed from reddish-brown sandstone demonstrates the unparalleled craftsmanship of stonemasons from that era. The building features an asymmetrical composition, characteristic of the Romantic architectural movement, with an expressive corner tower crowned by a conical roof with copper cladding.
The facade abounds with architectural details: an arched main entrance with a massive portal, expressive stone cornices, decorative masonry, and skillfully executed window frames. Particularly noteworthy are the numerous chimneys executed in a style consistent with the main building, and the complex multi-pitched roof with distinctive dark red covering that complements the color palette of the facade.
When designing a modern facade design, one can borrow from this historical example the principle of textural contrast, the use of natural materials, and thoughtful asymmetrical composition. Even on a small private home, it would be appropriate to incorporate one expressive element (such as a bay window or turret), play with the texture of finishing materials, and pay careful attention to details — cornices, window casings, and entrance features.
