If porches were belly buttons, these Greek Revivals would have innies. These inverted-porch Greek Revivals, are a less common variation of the style--at least around the city--but no less beautiful. In fact, I think these look more like the Greek temples they are meant to emulate.

This one has some great stonework. Love the granite stairs.

I saw this one on the news when a bank robbery suspect fled the scene, broke into this house and was up on the roof to escape the police. I tracked it down from the news reports.

This one was just restored and it's really beautiful.

This one is just to the left of the one before. It's got a real vintage charm.

And this one just cracks me up. Those columns are crazy. The first floor windows open up like french glass doors which is really unusual. And I love the little detail over the attic window.
Hi Again!
ReplyDeleteThe last house in these pictures looks a bit like mine...the porch is definately an "innie" and my columns are identical to the ones in the picture.
I'll have to post a picture of my house soon...loving your blog!
