The Gorge White House

     

The Gorge White House was built in 1910. The architectural style is Dutch Colonial Revival which was popular from 1890-1915. Some of the characteristics of this style include the gambrel roof, oval windows with keystones, attic windows, transoms, dentils at the cornice, screened porch, balconies, leaded beveled glass, fluted porch columns, arched window with keystone in the west facaing gable and sidelights framing the doors. The exterior and interior of the house are intact. The inside features quarter sawn white oak columns, coffered ceilings, newel posts, staircase, floors, doors, and windows. The house is located in a rural setting in the Hood River Valley surrounded by orchards. It is listed on the National Historic Registry. The first floor of the Gorge White House is open to the public.

Amy - it's really interesting to see how wide spread the Dutch Colonial design is. We have some of them here in St Petersburg as well.
