Italianate: Brick Façade with Arched Windows and Decorative Cornice

#6621. Italianate: Brick Façade with Arched Windows and Decorative Cornice

This is an impressive example of Italianate architecture, popular in America during the second half of the 19th century. The two-story brick building features a symmetrical façade with characteristic arched windows framed by decorative moldings. Particularly expressive are the rounded arches of the upper tier, creating a rhythmic visual pattern.

The façade skillfully combines red brick with contrasting light beige elements, typical for this style. Protruding cornices with decorative brackets (modillions) create deep shadows and emphasize the building's horizontal lines. The central entrance is accentuated by an elegant portico with columns and a second-floor balustrade forming a small balcony.

The building's roof has a gentle slope with wide overhanging eaves, which together with the decorative cornice line creates a characteristic silhouette. The decorative elements of the façade deserve special attention: elegant column capitals, arched window frames, and meticulously crafted balustrade details. The façade composition is completed by elegant flower planters at the front staircase, adding elegance and welcoming charm to the building.
