#flemishbond

I never tire of an #arch entrance detail. // #oldcity #oldcityphiladelphia #philadelphia #flemishbond #philadelphiaarchitecture #division4 #masonry #archwindow #historicarchitecture #transomwindow (at Old City, Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BppkJjlA71V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8yz6p39sp5ln

10.21.18 Lunchtime drawing: The long-short-long/short-long-short pattern of Flemish Bond brickwork in the West Village.

Two points of interest for this facade: 1) Notice that the window is eight panels over twelve panes. Usually you will see the same amount over the same amount in a #sashwindow such as this. (Example would be eight-over-eight, twelve-over-twelve, and most commonly in #oldcity and #societyhill six-over-six.) 2) Notice the change in brick bonds. From the bottom, ever six rows are #runningbond and split by a row or Flemish bond until it transitions to #flemishbond completely. The incorporation of the black bricks highlights this change. The combination of these two points would lead me to hypothesize that there was an exterior update that impacted these features at some point in this building’s history. // #shutters #transom #transomwindow #paneleddoor #masonry #themoreyouknow #architecture #architecturalhistory #architectural #architecturaldetails #architecturehistory #historicplaces #architecturalpreservation #historic #historicdetails #preservation #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture #mastersofhistoricpreservation #societyhillarchitecture #philadelphiaarchitecture #historichomes #historicphiladelphia #historicphilly (at Society Hill, Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9ySW2hHzd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5q4nsdciapp

#fanlightfriday featuring the #thomasclark and #matthewlufburrow houses from #1820 on #oglethorpeavenue. The house on the left has been altered many times, the one on the right shows more of the original look including the original #tracery. #fanlight #savannahfanlight #redbrick #brickporn #flemishbond #savannaharchitecture (at Architectural Tours of Savannah)

The #federalperiod #oliversturges house has several wonderful, original details...sadly the #fanlight isn't one of them. The original tracery would have separated smaller pieces of glass in a pattern that resembled an actual hand fan. #fanlightfriday #flemishbond #redbrick #brickporn! #anchorrod #anchorbolt #savannahfanlight #savannaharchitecture #reynoldssquare (at Morris Multimedia)

Happy #4thOfJuly from #savannahGA! The #FederalPeriod #JohnHunter house is giving a subtle clue to its age with the #AmericanFlag on the left...and a not so subtle clue with the small plaque on the right. #flemishbond #redbrick #brickporn, #ionicorder #classicalportico #savannaharchitecture (at Savannah Georgia USA)
