[edit] Discussion

You ought to be aware that if that building was build after 1820 (1824 I believe) then it most certainly isn't Palladian but vernacular Greek revival. And a rather shitty example at that. Twospoonfuls 21:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The article says this building "is one of North America's excellent examples of Palladian Architecture.", I cannot agree with that, I have explained why here[1]. While I suppose the building is inspired by classical architecture I'm not sure exactly which classical civilization it brings mostly to mind. If indeed this is considered by some published authorities the subject to be an "excellent example" of Palladianism then perhaps there ought to have reference. That it is Palladian in inspiration I can just about believe, that it is an excellent example - no way. Giano 11:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
