1811 Porter St.
Colonial Revival

The houses on the north side of Porter between 17th and 19th streets represent the first phase of construction in Girard Estate. All are variations on Colonial Revival themes, although many have been altered by additions or replacement of original materials. Colonial Revival elements on this well-preserved brick house are the full-height columns with simple bases and capitals supporting a simple lintel. The second story has the original bay window surmounted by a deep cornice with brackets.
