Captain Fernando Wilcox House

-A A +A
c. 1865. 488 Puncatest Neck Rd.

Here is yet another plain, bracketed Victorian house, in which “architecture” is left to the porch. Across its front pretty columnar supports raised on pedestals sprout more scroll-cut brackets stylized from botanical motifs. These, however, are more restrained, and therefore better attuned to the sobriety of what they decorate.
