Tom Raymond Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Besides ruined by the brick veneer, and the sloppy roof install, and the two story CMU addition on the back that can't see in the pic. The soffit and fascia are stuccoed and flow into the wall coating. The foundation is straight between the two bays on the end and there are three 12" glass block skylights set in to a low slope stucco bevel to light the basement. The other end is the same. The interior that hasn't been remuddled is very mid century minimalist. square shapes, white paint, little or no trim, strip oak floors. My best guess for a build date is the later half of the 50's.

Richard Moore Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not sure about the style name, but my guess is the architect was named Salvadore Baggins or maybe Bilbo Dali. On the bright side, the grading looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yup. Glued to F5 drip edge snipped to follow the curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 From the 1920s through 1950, there was the "English Cottage Revival". There are many forms/interpretations/attempts, with the one in your picture being the worst I've ever seen. The roof curves and eyebrows are common details found on thatched cottages.id="left"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I call it a roofer's nightmare. I wonder what the first roof cover was? Asphalt shingle, maybe? It looks like there are two little roof ponds, either side of the front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottpat Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It reminds me of the historic Grove Park Inn hotel in Ashville NC. It has a similar roof design but it is covered with custom made tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
