Gardencourt

The building features extensive wood shingle cladding across its exterior walls, complemented by traditional masonry foundations and multiple gabled roofs.

Constructed during the late 19th century architectural movement, Gardencourt represents the evolution of residential design from Queen Anne to American Shingle style.

The residence exemplifies the American preference for informal living spaces through its open floor plan and integration of indoor and outdoor areas.

The structure includes numerous windows, spacious porches, and various living areas that allow natural light to penetrate throughout the interior spaces.

The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this building for its architectural elements that combine brick, stone, and cedar shingles in distinctive patterns.
