Field Notes

Charles A. Gillin House, 1035 Worthington Ridge, c.1895. This house is a good example of a Victorian Vernacular dwelling. It is a large house with an array of ornamental woodwork and ornate front and rear porches. Such detail was made more affordable by 19th century advances in wood forming technology. Such ornate features became very popular 1860-1900.
