COLONIAL REVIVAL

 An excellent example of Colonial Revival architecture can be seen at the corner of 11th and Chestnut in Franklin.

	Corner of 11th and Chestnut Streets, Franklin, Pennsylvania

The front facade was designed about a centerline and is symmetrical.  The gambrel roof is a representation of an old 17th century Colonial form and is surrounded by a cornice emphasized with classical modillions and dentil molding.  Pilasters can be seen at the building corners and at the central second floor pavilion and third floor dormer.  Multipaned windows are used on the second floor and in the dormer for historical emphasis.  However, advances in glass technology can be seen in the large window panes used on the first floor.  The veranda roof is supported by paired columns and single ones.  A porch rail with a balustrade of turned spindles runs between the columns.  A three-part Palladian window form in the dormer crowns the entire architectural effort.

The house at the corner of 15th and Elk in Franklin demonstrates both the symmetry and classical decoration found on many turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival Victorians.

With its mansard roof and simple cube massing, the structure is reminiscent of the earlier Second Empire.  The symmetrically placed rectangular windows are Colonial Revival, however.  The entrance is surrounded by two vertical sidelights and an overhead elliptical light.  This arrangement is repeated again and emphasized in the second floor center window.  The central dormer facing Elk Street consists of three windows with a semicircular hood above the center window, a Palladian influence.  The roof cornice is detailed with modillions and dentil molding.  The entire roof seems to be supported by the four substantial pilasters at the building corners.
