A fabulous Italianate cornice and belvedere!
A lovely example of the Italianate style located in York, PA. Introduced before the Civil War and remaining popular for several decades, there are wonderful examples of the style from coast to coast. More than two dozen full color photos are used to illustrate the Italianate style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house. Knowing what your options are for repairing or, if necessary, replacing character-defining features is equally important. “Restoring Your Historic House” covers that and hundreds of other aspects of home restoration and rehabilitation.
