The image showcases a magnificent example of Victorian architecture in the "Painted Lady" style — a two-story mansion with pronounced decorative elements. The facade is painted in a soft turquoise color with contrasting yellow and red accents, characteristic of the polychromatic coloring of similar late 19th century structures.
The mansion features a symmetrical composition with a central entrance, above which is a second-floor balcony with wooden balusters. The facade is richly decorated with carved wooden elements: intricate brackets support the roof overhangs, ornate casings frame the tall windows, and filigree carvings adorn the friezes and cornices. Of particular note is the decorative "gingerbread" woodwork under the eaves and on the porch.
A distinctive architectural feature of the building is the cupola tower with a spire and weather vane crowning the central part of the roof — a typical element of Victorian architecture that gives the building a vertical dominant. The open first-floor veranda with decorative columns creates a smooth transition from the building to the surrounding landscape, while also forming a sheltered space in front of the entrance.
The two-tiered structure of the facade with a veranda-balcony on the second floor emphasizes the height of the building and creates an interesting interplay of volumes. The color scheme of the facade, using several harmoniously combined shades, highlights various architectural elements, emphasizing their decorative nature and creating a cheerful appearance for the entire structure.
