Description

Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Saint Barbara's in Saint Mary's City, Md. It is a spring scene. It appears that the house was originally a story and a half brick structure and was added to by changing the roof line to extend farther out. The new sections are white frame. This house features a massive two-stack brick chimney with with corbel caps and a large brick roofed pent between the stacks. On the upper floor between the chimney stacks are three nine over nine double hung windows. From the top of the windows to the roof peak appears to be red-painted frame. On the lower level, from the back, a single six over six double-hung window with green shutters occupies the limited space of the frame addition and within the old brick construction, to the left of the chimney, is a single nine over nine double hung window. In the front, the roof line creates cover for a three bay porch with segmental arches and white posts. On the left side of the porch are two nine over nine, double hung, green shuttered windows. There is a brown door on the far side of this face. The huge chimney is the dominant feature of this home. Text below image: "St. Barbara's, St. Mary's City, St. Mary's Co.
