21 Washington Terrace Dormer Window - St. Louis, MO_PC094270

Description copied from NRHP Registration form:

Charles Savage writes of this house: "In 1898 Earnes and Young borrowed the
published facade design of a hotel prive in Paris and adapted it for the fiont elevation of the
younger William N. McMillan's house at no. 21. Eames & Young's version follows the original
almost line for line." The original is identified as Pierre-Victor Cuvillier's Hotel de Bailleul of
1882, demolished c. 1960, at 126 Avenue de Wagram. The firm included the building in the 1900
exhibition of the Architectural Club of St. Louis.

The first story of this side-gabled two-story limestone house has alternating courses of dressed and
rock-faced stone meeting as voussoirs at the central round-arched opening. The dominant feature
of the facade , to the right of the entrance, is a two-story projection with paired pilasters at the
second story to either side of a pair of windows. The pilasters support a broken fiieze and round
tympanum with a massive wreath ornament, set into a steep gable crossing from the main gable
roof. It is this feature which is most directly taken fiom the prototype, although three arched
windows at the second story are also very similar to the arcaded balcony in the original, and the
gabled dormer at the left side of the facade uses the same window arrangement as Cuvillier's two
stepped dormers. The side gabled red slate roof terminates in side parapet walls."
