Nothing beats a good Victorian-era house! This example in the Clam Point neighborhood of Dorchester does not disappoint. The Stick-style double-house was built for miss Mary E. Noyes and Ms. Hersey replacing an older house on the lot. The women hired architect John A. Fox to design the house which possesses one of the most complex forms and roof configurations in the neighborhood. Clad with clapboards at the first and second stories, its six intersecting gables are sheathed with scalloped shingles. At the main entrance on the façade is an open porch with square posts and railings with turned balusters. The side façade is even more complex with two side gables and a two-tier porch enlivened by Chinese Chippendale and spool work railings. The Herseys, along with Mary E. Noyes, co-owned the house until 1884; thereafter it was owned by Mary E. Noyes until around World War I. The stick style home really pops with that blue color, what do you think?

I think the tiny triangular windows in the faux-pediment are adorable.
Maybe sometimes if you think the building merits it, you could either take a diagonal shot showing the facade and a side elevation or show two photos. I’d love to have seen the intersecting gables.

Definitely! The problem is that WordPress uses storage for images. I use a paid subscription which is now half-full (after over 2,000 posts). Some are multi-photo but I also post on Instagram with multiple images as well.

What an interesting facade! So many disontinuities and irregularities. Even the apparent middle (the apex of the central triangle) isn’t quite in the middle. And that corner window on the third floor!
