The image showcases a magnificent example of American Victorian architecture, specifically a house in the Second Empire or Italianate style with Gothic Revival elements. The structure likely dates back to the second half of the 19th century. The building features a characteristic mansard roof with a belvedere tower, crowned with decorative elements.
The facade is painted in a soft turquoise color with white decorative elements, creating an elegant contrast. Particularly noteworthy is the spacious porch with white columns and balustrade that wraps around the main entrance. The architectural solution of the porch reflects the influence of classical orders with simplified capitals.
The window openings are diverse in form: on the facade, one can observe both classical rectangular windows and round portholes on the tower, as well as arched windows on the second floor. Some windows have decorative framing. The round porthole windows are especially expressive, giving the building a maritime romantic quality.
The house is surrounded by well-maintained greenery and tall trees, emphasizing its organic integration into the natural landscape, as was characteristic of Victorian-era country houses. The side extensions and asymmetrical composition give the building a picturesque silhouette, typical of the eclectic architecture of that period.
