BRENTWOOD

-A A +A
1912. 601 Delaware Ave.

This two-story brick neoclassical revival house on a large corner lot was built for H. B. and Evie Holmes, who made their fortune in the dry goods business and became civic leaders. A two-story monumental Roman Ionic pedimented portico shelters the front entrance, while a more intimate one-story semicircular pavilion opens onto the east garden. A red barrel-tile roof caps the building, and a modillioned cornice surrounds it. The States neighborhood (the streets are named after states of the Union) in which Brentwood stands extends west of downtown and developed from the 1880s through the 1930s with houses for McComb’s white middle- and upper-income residents.
