    Notes:

    Central Avenue
    • c1890
    • Oscar F. Davisson House
    • Colonial Revival

    The Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 is generally recognized as the event which created an interest in our Colonial architectural heritage generally referred to by the umbrella term Colonial Revival. The Georgian and Adam or Federal styles dominated the Revival. The earliest Colonial Revival houses were rarely historically correct copies of original prototypes but were instead much enlarged free interpretations, with only the details inspired by colonial precedents.

    The Davisson House is typical of the style. Essentially rectangular in form, the facade is symmetrically balanced with a large, slightly extended second story pavilion topped with a pediment gable dormer rising above a flat-roofed porch. The porch is supported by slender, paired columns (usually a dead giveaway for Colonial Revival houses as original prototypes would have had single columns), and enclosed with a balustrade supported by square posts.

    A somewhat unique feature of the house is the two story porte-cochere, from which one can imagine guests disembarking from buggies and carriages. A large carriagehouse, later converted to a garage, repeats the roof line of the house.
