This allows hot air inside to flow out the top and the cool air to flow in freely from the bottom sash, as was the early custom prior to air conditioning. The interior trim is tasteful and not out of porportion. Simple cornice with a stepped baseboard and plaster stop. The casing is of the Federal Period with corner and plinth blocks. The prevailing motif of the blocks and center medallions is oak leaves and acorn, but one will find some playfull cherubs. It should also be noted that the home was built out of traditional material, as it would have been in the period. Beaded cypress lap siding, ogee back-banded trim with bead, tongue and groove porch decks and paneled beaded tongue and groove ceilings with trim mold and crown. Naturally the ceilings are painted “haint blue,” to ward off the evil spirits and mud-daubers as is thtradition. Another important element of this Greek Revival architecture is displayed in the simplicity and strength of the entablature at the lower lever and the architrave, frieze, and cornice at upper levels. The Greek style was prominent following the Colonial Revival style as it evoked passion in the independent minded Americans, and their new republic, and moved away from the earlier English forms of Colonial Revival, which one can see in the mid-Atlantic and the north-east. The gothic arch dormers on the roof with pilasters are of perfect proportion and balance and the roof is terminated with a belvedere which is fully accessible. This term is Latin and means beautiful view, and it certainly is. The grounds are immaculate with a variety of plants native planting per Joanne’s wishes, simple southern plants, no ornamentals. The oaks, throughout the property and along the river’s edge, with their draping limbs casting dappled light, have been beautifully maintained. The plantings are layered, some for privacy and some for color and fragrance in various times of the year. The native varieties and the times when they bloom assure that you have native and migratory butterflies and birds of all varieties and species most all year. The ficus ivy has been manicured as it clings to the tabby pilings and define the foundation, the entry stairs flows gently and invites one to enter. I am going to let the pictures and captions do the talking to complete this journey. I want to sincerely thank Doug and Joanne for the opportunity to create this one of a kind home that is so special in so many ways. I would also like to thank Daniella and Ric for the courtesy that they showed me. The are kind and knowledgable folks who have a love for this home and would be happy to show you all that it has to offer as Doug and Joanne are moving to be with their children and grandchildren.
