Creolized


















A 3-bay shotgun on Cleveland Avenue in the LSU footprint sports Craftsman details in the porch columns and overhangs...but also some old school shutters over the windows, generally characteristic of older construction than is found in most of the footprint.

A close look also reveals the interesting recessed side gallery toward the back just before a side bay.

2412 Palymyra




















In addition to the great brackets on the house in the foreground, it also features an interesting front entryway...which actually opens into a breezeway backed with a side gallery, similar, although not identical, to the false front door style popular in historic residences in Charleston, South Carolina (many of which feature what appears at first to be a full front door that actually leads immediately onto a side gallery ).
