#6426. Green-Shingled Victorian Mansion with Neo-Gothic Facade Elements

The photograph depicts a magnificent example of Victorian architecture with Neo-Gothic elements. This is a two-story house with a distinctive green facade covered in wooden shingles. The mansion features an asymmetrical composition and a complex roof configuration with steep slopes and a characteristic Gothic gable.

The facade of the house showcases a wealth of architectural details: a round turret with a conical roof, a bay window with multiple panes, a small balcony on the second floor, and a spacious veranda with white columns and balustrades below. At the center of the main gable is a decorative circular window with a cross-shaped ornament — an element reminiscent of Gothic churches.

The color scheme of the facade is built on the contrast between dark green shingles and white trim elements: window frames, cornices, balustrades, and columns. The windows vary in shape and size, some featuring decorative grilles, which emphasizes the eclectic style. The veranda with its classical white columns and wide steps creates a welcoming entrance to the building.

The landscaping around the house includes neatly trimmed cypress-like thujas, which frame the facade and accentuate its verticality. The house is surrounded by a well-maintained lawn, typical of American suburban architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
