Montgomery, A.I.A. Drawing depicts the carved inscription in the lintel of the south gable doorway of the DeTurk House. Image [owners’ names] appears on the bottom third of the page. Incised owners’ names composes one category of the Germanic/Swiss tradition of "house inscriptions" [Hausinschriften"], which includes dates, building slogans, house blessings ["Haus Segens"], and many religious and cultural expressions dating back centuries on the European continent.
