Harmon House

-A A +A
1905. 705 N. Washington Ave.

The north side of Pulaski was laid out according to a plat of 1888 issued by the Pulaski Land and Improvement Company. This hillside district is a rich mixture of styles popular at the time. The hipped roof of Colonel K. E. Harmon's large and complex two-and-a-half-story weatherboarded and shingled house fairly bristles with pedimented and gabled roofline dormers. A one-story wraparound porch with attenuated coupled columns on high pedestals also projects and recedes beneath its own complex roof. The influence of the emerging Colonial Revival on this Queen Anne house is reflected in the increasingly linear quality of the house and the free adaptation of classical motifs.
