The Gold Coast and the Shore Before
1217 Sherman St.
Colonial Revival Style built in 1895 by Architect: W.H. Lillie Builder: Peter Christensen Cost: $4,125
Another textbook Colonial Revival residence. Symmetrical front facade with small double dormers. A welcoming half-round front entry, supported by Doric columns, adds a softness to the design. The laurel leaf and ribbon wreath in the frieze band are elements of classical decoration.
