[This house has been identified by Chris DiMattei (volorgas) as a George F. Barber house.) Boydton in Mecklenburg County, Virginia has an unusually large number of old houses for a town of about 500. Part of Boydton Historic District, this wood Queen Anne was built by Joseph Wilkerson, a contractor, in 1912. The front façade has both a gable and a dormer projecting from the central hip roof, each with a round-headed casement window. A two-story bay is marked by the gable projection, containing large windows on both levels; these windows are six panes wide of two different sizes, 12 smaller on top and 6 longer on the bottom. Brick steps lead to the porch entrance, which is pedimented; this entrance is flanked on both sides by a turned post balustrade. The porch is wraparound—the main porch and a small portion extending back from the gazebo-like bay, domed with a finial. The bay divisions of the porch are marked by wooden, fluted Ionic column supports for the roof. The single door entrance has sidelights and a segmented transom. On top of the house is a widow’s walk. The cast iron fence with gate was the one-time fence for the Courthouse Square in Boydton to keep cows off the lawn. The Boydton Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 16, 2002 with reference #02000511. The house has been identified as one by Knoxville architect George F. Barber.
The house, on a 1.63 acre lot, apparently has been sold. It has 3,844 square feet; online realtor information states 4 or 6 bedrooms, and 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 baths. Online information also lists the date of the house as 1905. It also lists the contractor as Wilkinson rather than Wilkerson. The perennial question—how credible is information online?

[5 images constitute this set] Uno is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Virginia. This structure is apparently the former post office, possibly dating from 1893; I’d guess it was also a store, it not being uncommon for post offices and stores to be in the same building. Architecturally the date fits. Slanting wood on the front of the structure, a recessed entry, a transom with a series of 6 vertical panes, panels below the windows on the front facade–all visible by enlarging the first image. The shed roof over the porch is supported by 4 square wooden columns resting on brick piers. Image 5 shows the bracketing in use but also highlights a scalloped effect in the wood in the porch cornice. In addition, the window and door surrounds are fluted and ornamented at the top. These would be in keeping with a late 19th century commercial structure. Signs attached to the posts at either end of the porch announce the place as Uno. The structure is symmetrical with 2 widows on the upper level of the front facade. Four windows are on the sides with an opening at the rear of each. The left side (as you face the front) looks as if there might have been and additional section which has been removed.
How did the community receive its name? The following is quoted from a Facebook page–
"Post Office established in 1893. Carl Tappy, a longtime postmaster, reported that people walking on the road near a popular barroom when asked where they were going were said to have replied ‘You know’." www.facebook.com/54876319981/posts/10150471837634982/

The steady thump of a wooden mallet bounced a thudding echo off the saw-dust covered brick walls. Skillfully smoothing every surface and hammering every nail, the carpenter worked with careful patience. A trio of chickens pecked at the bits of sawdust covering the floor and spreading into the lawn, looking for something edible. Stepping back, the old man smiled beneath his lush white beard, satisfied with his newly-finished work.

This minifig’s been waiting to be put in a moc for over a year, so glad to finally give it to him!
Also got to try out that roof technique, which I’ve been developing for almost as long.
More mocs coming! 😀
Soli Deo Gloria!

Located in Franklin County, North Carolina, the Person-McGhee House is very visible from US route 1, about 1 miles south of the Tar River which is the boundary between Franklin and Vance Counties. It probably dates from the 1890s. The owner was Lemuel McGhee, a prosperous Franklinton merchant. The woodwork is superb and the asymmetry of the gables in both form and decoration is an intriguing feature of this structure. The property is described in A Guide to Historic Architecture of Piedmont North Carolina by Catherine W. Bishir and Michael T. Southern. They speculate that this might be a design of George F. Barber, mail-order architect from Knoxville, Tennessee. For another view see www.flickr.com/photos/universalpops/8258618602/

[This set on the Second Empire house in Oxford contains 5 photos] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work.
In the South, the Second Empire style never caught on as it did in many other regions of the country. This example in Oxford, North Carolina dates from 1889, as a plaque on the porch indicates; this was towards the end of the Second Empire as a dominant architectural style. This is the Hundley-White House at 208 College Street.
The home stands out for two reasons: it is Second Empire in a small Southern town; and it is pink. The brick house is essentially rectangular with two stories, the second being the slightly concave mansard roof. There appears to be a basement as well. The shingling is an alternation of pentagonal and brick-patterned material (I don’t know if slate is used on this house). No iron crestings are present. The tower, also with concave slope, is centrally placed in the façade, rising from the entrance to its height. Dormers jut from the mansard roof and from the tower; the windows are of a full arch with steeply pitched hoods. The windows on the first level are much taller than those on the roof area. The cornice is not bracketed but consists of a vertical pattern of gray. The four chimneys, all with metal caps, are placed at either side of the dwelling. The porch is supported by 9 posts with a railing of nearly rectangular woodwork in between. A frieze hangs from the roof of the porch. Steps leading to the wood double doors also have railings. A metal fence with brick piles surrounds the house, and between the front two piles is an iron gate with a small wheel or roller for easy opening. On a few of the piles are brass lamps, wired for electricity.
