Mediterranean Revival, Lawn Ave
We headed back to Lawn Ave today to gaze at this Mediterranean Revival duplex. Lush details: matching chimneys, barrel tile roof exciting brickwork, glazed bricks, that amazing column, and the downspout embedded in the brick.
That's a pond between the steps and that egg and dart terra cotta piece looks newer.
Stained glass window above glazed white bricks, twisted column with a robust Corinthian capital, and in the background a ceramic kitten lifting a paw.
That's the original exposed aggregate concrete sidewalk with matching mosaic sidewalks to the street.

Bond. Flemish Bond
I appreciate the details to this house on 39 Hartford with its original quarter sawn oak doors, the Flemish bond, and quoining:

Bodacious Terra Cotta
I wish somebody would turn on the lights outside.
The winter gloam is way past tedious so I'm roving neighborhoods and fortunately encountered this building in Princeton Heights. Stellar brickwork. Bodacious terra cotta that resonates with Arts and Crafts motifs.
Click to enlarge. These bricks are the first I've encounter that have flecks of feldspar to compliment the mortar.

Spendid glazed terra cotta
Wowsa:
Located (I think, I've misplaced my notes) in the Princeton Heights neighborhood.
Dreamy Art Deco styling terra cotta with wire cut brick and stained pick mortar.
Too bad the original store front windows were 'remodeled'.

Send Flowers
I have to go back.
I missed doing photos of the stained pink pointing on this exquisite building. It's critical because the emphasis is on the phenomenaland v aried brickwork and the terra cotta relief. The objective was no visible mortar hence the staining and using rubbed brickwork wasn't an option. Marble steps and limestone foundation.
Sunflowers in a vase surrounded by egg and dart:
Radial, bull nose, pyramid, and were those edges rubbed off?
The owner kindly talked to me about his building which was built in 1895 and is
located on 39 Iowa. Thanks Tom!

Ivory Glazed Terra Cotta Cornice - 41 Hartford
Probably produced by Winkle Terra Cotta. Matching coping blocks and soldier brick vents on twin buildings.
