NRHP Nomination Form"The Georgian Revival or Neo-Colonial style was very popular along Swiss Avenue. Motivated by the Twentieth century desire to restore order to architecture, these mansions are rectangular in plan with symmetrical facades. The roofs are generally hipped, double-pitched, or of gambrel form and the eaves are often detailed as classical cornices. in most cases the central part of the facade projects and is crowned with a pediment or balustrade. Doorways have fanlights and are set in tabernacle frames. Windows are usually rectangular with double-hung sash, and Palladian windows are frequently employed. Some of the best examples in the district are at 5439 Swiss built by G. C. Greer in 1916, at 5416 Swiss built by W. M. Taylor in 1916, at 5420 Swiss built by G. M. Taylor in 1916, at 5731 Swiss built by Theodore Marcus in 1921, at 5736 Swiss built by W. 0. Womack in 1923, and at 5907 Swiss built by E. Hundahl in 1929."
