9 Franklin Street (B.C. Pressley House)Entry/Object ID
FRANKLIN.009.1Scope and Content
Constructed 1855. B.C. Pressley, a partner in the law firm of Pressley, Lord, and Inglesby, built this 2-story, gable-ended house with a sidehall entry a few years before the Civil War. Pressley's house reflects the transition between the Greek Revival style, evident in its double-tiered piazza with fluted Doric columns, and the Italianate style, as demonstrated through the bracketed cornice and bracketed door hood, which shelters a fanlighted transom. The eclectic mix of elements on Pressley's house contrasts with the smaller-scaled detailing of the residence at 11 Franklin Street.
