Heritage attributes

Nansidwell is a representative example of a Tudor Revival style home with Tudor Revival features including its hip roof; its polychromatic brick and stucco and half-timbered cladding; the front façade’s asymmetrical pattern, including its steeply-pitched gables which enclose the centrally-located formal front entryway. The house also includes flat-roofed shed dormers, multiple polychromatic brick, single stack chimneys, a random fenestration pattern, and brick knee walls. Random patterns and sizes of windows, including casement windows and leaded glass windows, reflect Tudor Revival design ideals.
