P.RCHITECTUKAL SIGNIFICANCE
Built a little later than most of its neighbors on Ferias, Hill, this
house has an interesting blend of stylistic references: half-timbered treatment
of the gable, eyebrow window in the roof, porch with auasi-Chinpendale balustrade,
and broad eaves with ex-oosed rafters. These features were used freauently by
bVillard Brown, a Lexington architect who designed a number of houses on : eriam
Hill in the early twentieth century. Brown may have designed this house.
