Francis Morrow House
Location
400 Caldwell St.
Architecture
Greek Revival
Established
1851
This 5,296 square foot Greek Revival home was built by Francis Morrow in 1851 and carriage house in 1852. The front addition featuring Victoriancharacteristics, was built in the early 1870s. A Palladian window can be seen in the gable which was a unique design element not common in a home of this time period. Many other original features still exist in the home such as the stain glass windows, wood work, and floors. The vestibule features Lincrusta and original tile work, and foyer and staircase are original to the home. The dining room fireplace is accented with tiles by John Moyr Smith based on theWaverly Novels by Sir Walter Scott. The carriage house features a Mansard roof which was considered a “cutting edge" design for that time period.
