Frenchtown District Map
Federal/Greek, Revival, 1835-1890, coded B
30 buildings (approximately 15% of the total); are included in this group, six of which are frame houses and the remainder
brick residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. Exhibiting
sparsely detailed, planar facades, the majority represent a
simplification and adaptation of high-style Federal and/or Greek
Revival designs which lingered on as a vernacular classicism into the
1890s. The earliest example is the brick 1835 two-story, five-bay
center block of the Sacred Heart Academy which received a mansard roof addition in 1876; it features a center-bay original entrance with elliptical fan light, and windows headed with jack arches.
The 1838 two-story, five-bay addition to the north, and the mid-1850s
three-bay addition on the south also feature regular fenestration with
jack arched openings, the complex rests on a stone basement. Also on
the Academy campus (near Decatur and N. Third) is a two-story
rectangular brick building erected circa 1890 as a parish school but
never used as such; it employs segmentally arched openings and a
corbelled brick cornice." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
