Turquoise Facade of a "Painted Lady": Victorian Splendor from 1900

#633. Turquoise Facade of a "Painted Lady": Victorian Splendor from 1900

Before us stands an exquisite example of Victorian architecture in the "Painted Lady" style, dating back to 1900, as indicated on the facade. This two-story mansion is distinguished by its vibrant turquoise (mint) coloring of the main facade with rich polychromatic decorative finishes.

The building's facade displays classic elements of Victorian style: gabled roofs, decorative pediments with ornamental details, and a characteristic pattern of circles in the upper section. Particular attention is drawn to the contrasting color accents — red, white, and blue elements creating a festive, almost gingerbread-like appearance of the house.

The central part of the facade includes a wide staircase with turquoise steps leading to the main entrance with carved double doors. The porch is adorned with elegant carved columns and decorative balusters. The architectural ensemble is complemented by a veranda with a balustrade, delicate brackets, and the polygonal bay windows with large panes characteristic of Victorian style.

The abundance of decorative details — from carved friezes and brackets to geometric patterns on the staircase pedestals — highlights the craftsmanship of the architect and builders. This house is an excellent example of American architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, preserving its historical authenticity and decorative expressiveness.
