Description |
Digital image of original photograph taken by Steve Kindig. Image shows front view of house without pent hoods. Details include: pedimented hood above attic door, pent roof outlooker remnants, roughly coursed {n} stone gable wall, original brick oculus attic vent. {n} to be distinguished from "ashlar", a more formal English wall pattern laid up with blocks of uniform dimensions and more carefully dressed to provide a common vertical wall-plane [see Pottsgrove mansion and George Douglass House for nearby examples]. The DeTurk masonry employed vernacular methods to achieve horizontal "coursing": pointing of varying thicknesses, stone units of varying dimensions, and rough leveling to simulate authentic regular coursing. The stone units here are also minimally dressed to a common plane. Please also add ST: Dressed coursing Larry Ward, updated September, 2022 |
