NEOCLASSICAL

The Issac Shank House at 118 West Main Street in Titusville (As Shown Below) is an interesting example of Colonial Revival form and historical detail set off by a massive Neoclassical porch.

	118 West Main Street, Titusville, Pennsylvania

Issac Shank built this house in 1906.  He was a long time merchant and owned a very successful lumber yard in Titusville.  The classical cornice about the main roof with its heavy modillions and dentil molding is carried out and around the two-story porch roof.  The heavy porch roof is supported by four large scale columns with decorative balustrades added at the walls for Neoclassical emphasis.  Note the very deep Greek Revival entablature above the columns.  A second floor porch deck is suspended inside the columns.  The entranceway is surrounded by sidelights and a fanlight above.  This entranceway, themultipaned windows with their rigid ranking in the front facade, the lintel and building corner treatment, all served to create an antiquarian Colonial Revival strong enough to stand alone.  The Neoclassical porch treatment was not necessary but did add to the architectural interest.

The big house at the top of the hill at 701 N. Perry in Titusville (As Shown Below) incorporates a two-story semicircular porch supported by massive columns.

This porch is situated to the front of what is fundamentally a replica of Adam architecture.  A second floor porch deck is suspended inside the columns.  This home was constructed by John L. Emerson around 1908.  John Emerson was one of Edward Octavius Emerson’s sons.  E. O. Emerson made a fortune in both early oil production and, later, in a natural gas partnership with J. N. Pew, founder of Sun Oil.
