Beautifully restored 1877 Victorian with a mansard roof in St. Louis, MO. 5bds, 3ba, $960K. Isn't this a pretty street? This home was the only one built by the steamboat Captain Horace Bixby (mentor of Mark Twain).

This entrance hall. What a wonderful built-in. It holds walking canes. The newel post is stunning and the lamp is kerosene- how original is that? I like the checkered floor- I think it makes it pop more than wood.

The reception room is lovely. You'll see that they have some ship antiques around, which is a great idea since it was a steamboat captain's house.

What a great fireplace in the sitting room. Even though the cabinets don't look that old, I think that they may be built-ins.

Beautifully done dining room. This home is so tastefully appointed.

Butler's pantry pass-thru to the kitchen.

The kitchen redo is stunning.

They must be leaving this piece if they show the incredible detail.

This is such a lovely bedroom.

Perfect vintage bath remodel.

Note the little laundry chute on the 2nd fl. They also kept the steep stairs intact.

This bedroom has stairs up to a beautiful terrace.

This room has a large bathroom/dressing room.

Yard is small, but so beautifully done.

But, that's not all the outdoor space. The spiral stairs go to a rooftop deck.

There is also a 2 car garage around the block.

Lovely neighborhood of gorgeous homes.

What a beautiful home! 1860 home with a mansard roof in the lovely town of Cornwall on Hudson, NY. 4bds, 4ba, $1.25M.

The front door is stunning. It looks like black patent leather.

Center hall with original stairs.

To the left is a very spacious sitting room. It's so bright and cheerful. Look at the wainscoting wall.

To the right of the hall is a pretty dining room. It can accommodate much larger furniture and more pieces.

Look at the cute little mousie detail on the baseboard.

Isn't this the most delightful guest powder room?

The kitchen remodel is lovely. The stove is in front of the original fireplace.

The kitchen is open to the gorgeous sun room.

I still feel that you can't go wrong with striped wallpaper. It always looks great. This main floor primary bedroom is stunning.

Love baths redone with reproduction vintage fixtures.

At the top of the stairs is a bright sitting area.

This beautiful bedroom has a separate sitting room. It could also be the primary.

Like that they left this brick remnant.

En suite shower.

If this is a guest room, it's wonderful. A small table, sitting corner, books to read, and a fireplace.

This bath looks retro. So attractive.

Beautiful basement stairs.

The rec room has a bar that can accommodate the whole gang.

Very professional, well-equipped bar.

Guests can go across the hall to the pool room.

There's also a comfortable movie room.

Large yard with a deck and pool.

Lots of parking, plus a garage.

It looks like a picture in the snow.

So pretty lit up at night. The lot is .58 acre.

Architectural Finds, 06/25/2023

Today's walk was short, I was just going in to DoBro to get some things from target but of course I had to stop and take some pictures along the way. Here are some architectural highlights from the walk there.

First were these row-houses along Fulton St, and this cool corner window aspect that the end house had.

Built 1882.

Located at 664-674 Fulton St, these seemed like they were all the same architect save for the third house in at 668 which looked like it been rebuilt at some point or maybe covered with a brick facade.

You can see some of the rusting from the old Cast-Iron facade that was cutting edge technology in the day in the second picture.

Another row of houses that caught my eye were this row of brownstones with their beautiful ornamentation around the door frames. This is right around the corner at 109-117 S Elliot Pl.

I have no way of knowing if they were all built by the same owners originally as I cant seem to find any records for them online :/, but they were likely built around the turn of the last century 1890-1910 when this style of building was commonly constructed. It was likely that they were built by separate owners/architects, as their ornamental stone decorations aren't all exactly the same.

Moving on, A CHURCH! That's right I love a good ornate church and this one surely delivered. Just look at that gothic stone articulation above the entrance! Its so organic looking, it sends shivers down my spine just looking at it and I want to sink my teeth into it all in one.

Built in 1931 to the tune of the Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church, and today it sits abandoned, boarded up, and full of black mold.

The overall shape of the building is so interesting it has so much going on with its MASSIVE brick pillar motifs, likely intended to vertically gesture up toward the creator.

One source describes it as "Gothic restyled in modern dress, an exercise in massing brick and tan terracotta that might be called cubistic Art Moderne."

Someone with more theological architectural background could go further in depth than I can on it I'm sure, but it's always exciting to see the passionate attention to detail that a good cathedral has in it's architecture.

Next I don't know if I love this one but I just wanted to shout it out as having a BIG clock face! Like that thing is so high upppp it must be 100 feet in diameter!

Without even looking it up I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this is maybe Brooklyn City Hall, or another government building??? It resembles the thing they're doing in all of the governing buildings I've seen up in Albany.

I don't particularly like this architectural style its boring and chunky in my opinion, but I have to say its not the ugliest thing I've seen. I respect the sense of radial symmetry its upper terraces and flanks suggest, and cmon you cant knock that clock.

(update: it's a bank building)

Second to last, we have this red & black beauty. Love the Greek-Revival pediments on each wing of the building as well as the renaissance revival inclusions in the carved cords/ribbons hanging in between the pilasters.

After some research, this seems to be an old Schoolhouse built in 1892 that has unfortunately since been absorbed by the ultra-modern townhouse on the end of the street at 81 Hanson Pl and transformed into a massive painting studio/home by painter David Salle. Wish I could find more info on the original schoolhouse tho :/

HONORABLE MENTION: Caught this Mansard Roof moment on my way into the subway station and oof, tug at my heartstrings this is cute.

Across the street from the dream studio/abomination this guy sits pretty at 83 Hanson Pl and is the only brownstone on the block with a cute hat (mansard roof).
