#6607. Cream Facade: Neo-Gothic Mansion with Characteristic Pointed-Arch Windows and Slate Roof

The photograph showcases an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture. This two-story mansion features a characteristic asymmetrical facade composition with distinct neo-Gothic elements. The building is painted in a soft cream (or light yellow) color with white architectural details, creating an elegant and harmonious appearance.

The facade of the house is distinguished by exquisite Gothic pointed-arch windows on the second floor, framed with white trim, which is a striking feature of the neo-Gothic style. The roof is covered with bluish slate tiles and adorned with several dormer windows with pointed gables, typical of Gothic Revival. Two massive brick chimneys rise symmetrically above the roof, emphasizing the vertical composition.

The entrance area is designed as a small portico with arched openings and graceful white columns, creating a cozy porch with an awning. The first floor has simpler rectangular windows, creating an interesting contrast with the Gothic elements of the upper floor. A dark gutter system runs along the perimeter of the building, which is functionally necessary and simultaneously serves as a decorative element highlighting the architectural lines of the house.

The mansion is surrounded by a well-maintained area with shrubs and trees, complementing its picturesque appearance and indicating its belonging to the tradition of country houses of American or European architecture of the 19th century, when the neo-Gothic style was particularly popular among wealthy homeowners.
