GOTHIC REVIVAL

	The Charles Lay House at 114 Petroleum Street in Oil City, Pennsylvania

The Charles Lay House at 114 Petroleum Street in Oil City (As Shown Above) is another example of a simple Gothic Revival cottage.  This house consists of a primary “L”-shaped, asymmetrical mass with a parallel mass behind.  A full display of gables can be seen with the wall surfaces unbroken as they rise to the gable peaks.  Decorative braced pendants are located at the gable peaks.  The porch roof supports are detailed with Tudor arches.  Charles and William Lay were early real estate developers on Oil City’s South Side, a place known as Laytonia in the late 1860's.

	1415 Elk Street in Franklin, Pennsylvania

The big house at 1415 Elk Street in Franklin (As Shown Above) is an example of a very late period Gothic Revival Cottage.  Built in 1875, this house features a relatively simple crossed mass and plan with a uniform ridge height and the expected arrangement of gables with unbroken wall surfaces.  The veranda roof is supported by squared posts detailed with appropriate Tudor arches.
