What an interesting house. It seems like late 19th- century in some ways, but without city-styled italianate windows plus the addition of the flared columns, I am guessing more likely early 20th century. However, the cupola intrigues me. What's up wit' dat? Was it originally louvered for ventilation or is it simply stylish? Almost suggestive of the Cupola House in Edenton, just way less. Maybe a late-victorian-working class/industrial version:-)
