Cottage on King's row, Bristol (Round Pond) Lincoln County, 1853-1854
The Cottage on King's Row is a notable example of a Gothic Revival cottage that reflects the influence of mid-nineteenth-century architects and authors Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing. Erected c. 1854, this wood frame building exhibits the distinctive characteristics of the Gothic Revival style including asymmetry, steep roof slopes decorated with vergeboard and finials, and windows and doors accented by label moulds. The house appears to have been built by a ship's joiner, whose skilled hand is evident in the intricately carved porch supports and exterior moldings.
