Description
Photograph of Governor Downey's Residence on Main Street north of Fourth Street on the west side, ca.1883. Tall topiary shrubs line the front of a brick two-story, split-level home, the windows of which sport several types of Romanesque molding around their frames. To the left, in the shorter segment of the home, a porch with an overhang supported by colonnade can be seen from behind the shrubs. A brick and wrought-iron fence, approximately seven feet high, demarcates the boundary between the lawn and the sidewalk. Taller trees obscure most of the sky in the background. Telephone wires cut across the frame in the extreme foreground.
