Federal/Greek Revival, circa 1849 - 1895, Coded A.
This group is largely represented by vernacular interpretations
of Federal and/or Greek Revival styles; it contains one of the largest
single collections of buildings (about one-fourth of the total) and
enjoyed the greatest longevity. All rest on stone foundations and all
except two are brick. The majority are three bays wide and rise two
stories with first story utilized as commercial space and -second for
residential; a few are one story commercial. ... Typically facades are symmetrical and feature openings headed with
either jack arches, flat lintels or segmental arches; roofs are gabled
or occasionally low-hipped. Ornamentation is restrained, generally
limited to brick dentil ling, stringcourses, recessed paneling and
pilasters. Several feature decorative cast iron balconies, lintsls or
storefronts. While the majority of roofs are side-gabled, five feature
street-front gables or shaped parapets sometimes pierced with an attic
window or lunette. ...
