Anonymous, American, 19th century American
Not on view
We are shown a Federal style house with two main stories, tall multi-paned windows, and an attic. The building has a central chimney, pedimented and pilastered doorframe and single-story addition at the back. Located close to the street with a neighboring dwelling seen at left, the house is separated from the street by hedges that alternate with a white lyre-shaped fence. A birdhouse shaped like a Gothic cathedral supported by tall posts stands in the garden at right. On the sidewalk in front, a girl pushes a two wheeled covered doll carriage.
