Before us stands a remarkable example of Victorian architecture, known as the "Thompson House," as indicated by the sign in front of the building. This impressive mansion is executed in the "Painted Lady" style with characteristic pale blue (or mint) cladding and contrasting white decorative elements.
The façade is richly adorned with ornamental features typical of Victorian style: intricate carvings in the gable areas, decorative brackets under the cornices, and elegant lace-like porch trim. Particularly eye-catching are the exquisite porch railings with their ornate patterns and the decorative elements on the roof gables.
The architectural composition of the building is asymmetrical, which is typical of Victorian style. The house has several protruding volumes, including a side wing and a covered veranda with a characteristic decorative frieze. The window openings vary in shape and size - from tall rectangular ones to Gothic arched windows in the upper part of the façade.
The brick chimneys rising above the pitched roof are not only functional but also serve as additional vertical accents in the building's composition. The base of the house is made of stone, creating a solid visual foundation for the entire structure.
This carefully restored mansion is an excellent example of architectural heritage preservation, showcasing the richness and sophistication of the Victorian era in architecture.
