DIRECTION: Return to the corner of Mercer and Barrow and
continue west on Mercer across Barrow. Walk
on the left (south) side of Mercer.
Just as the last houses demonstrated changing styles,
this house also contains Greek Revival and Italianate features.
The first-floor windows, diminishing size of the windows,
drip mold on the lintels, and anthemion flower motif in the
porch ironwork are all Greek Revival features. The bracketed
cornice, triangular pediment over the entrance, and pair of
doors with arched lights and transom are features of the
later style. Notice the fine face brick – hard bricks with
very narrow masonry joints – on this house.
