1822 Shunk Street.
Colonial Revival
This house exhibits a number of features found on authentic 18th-century structures in the older neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Like its Georgian ancestors, it employs classical elements. Fluted porch columns support a classical entablature. The most striking feature is the central pavilion projecting from the slate gambrel roof on the second story. This house has a version of the Palladian window, named for the Italian Renaissance architect. Consisting of a large central opening flanked by narrow sidelights and surmounted by an arch, this element is familiar to all who have visited Christ Church or Independence Hall in the historic area of Philadelphia.
