Victorian Grandame in Old Southwest
Victorian Classic, circa 1896
One of Old Southwest’s Grandames rescued from multi-family use and completely rejuvenated in 2002. A broad, wrap-around front porch leads to original double front doors opening into a spacious foyer. The gracious living room is framed by 2 knee walls topped by columns with Corinthian capitals. Twin pocket doors open to the formal dining room. There are ornate tile surrounded fireplaces in both rooms. Pocket doors also separate the foyer and dining room from a huge eat-in kitchen with sunny breakfast area. The kitchen opens to a morning room with 2 walls of windows. The powder room still has the original ice box that was installed in the home. The main level also has a den and glassed in- back porch. The second level has a 2 room master suite with soaking tub and separate shower. There are 2 more bedrooms that access a glassed in porch. The second full bath has a private balcony. There is a laundry room and an entrance to a huge walkup attic with darkroom.
This is one of the few homes in the Historic District with a detached garage and a double lot. This home is bathed in light! The widow pattern is very unusual. There are many 24 over 1 pane window designs. Several 36 over 1 and one 54 over 1!
