House

-A A +A
1864. 7 W. Bluff Dr.

The neoclassical house at 7 Bluff Drive has a deep two-story porch framed by six slender double-height Roman Doric piers, with pocket sash windows providing porch access on both levels. It sits on a raised brick foundation and is crowned by a railing at the roofline reminiscent of colonial plantation houses. Enormous live oaks fill the front yard. A few houses to the east, a raised house at 3 W Bluff Drive, dating to 1848, is one of the original structures from the first Parker subdivision. With its wide front steps, shallow sloped roof, and long front porch, it may be unique to the area and has been recently expanded.
