(27) Blickensterfer House
This Eclectic style house is located at 7700 Lowell Boulevard.It was built for Mr. Blickensterfer in 1901 and at the time, considered a very elegant home.
ARCHITECURAL DESCRIPTION
The Blickensterfer House is an example of an Eclectic Colonial Revival.
The decorative elements of the entrance door surrounds are reminiscent of the earlier
English Georgian style, but in this era, they are machine turned and flatter, attached
directly to the house rather than a porch. The dormers on the second story are pediments,
giving these windows a Greek classical style.
The combinations of all these different elements are what make the house eclectic.
