House

-A A +A
c. 1860. 906 6th St.

This is a finely detailed example of the Italianate; there are elaborately carved lintels over the windows, and thin piers support the various porches. Instead of resting on the usual brackets, the entablature below the overhanging second-floor roof is paneled. The walls are clapboard and all of the detailing is in wood.
