The Federal Revival style of #architecture was dominant between 1785 and 1815. Look at the top right corner and note the tile detail reads 1787! What else do I love about this #federalrevival building? How about the Flemish bond of the brick?! Zoom in on the bricks above the water table and you will see that each #course (or row) alternates between #header (the short length of the brick) and #stretcher (the long length of the brick). Each course alternates the position of the header, so they do not stack, effectively making this bond especially stable.// #themoreyouknow #keystone #dentils #pediment #brokenpediment #flemishbond #dormers #arch #federal #chimneys #shutters #historicplaces #bricks #twelveovertwelve #sashwindows #sixoversix #eightovereight #historicpreservation #watertable #downspout #preservation #historic #architecturehistory #architecturalhistory #historicphiladelphia #historicphilly #philadelphia #philadelphiaarchitecture #philadelphiapa #ornament #washingtonsquarepark #washingtonsquare #historicpreservationmatters #historicarchitecture #mastersofhistoricpreservation (at Washington Square West, Philadelphia)
