Holiday House Tour 2013: 407 South Stewart Street

The Home of Gina Sullivan and Steve Surber
House Chairman Tina Marie Scully
House Decorator Donna Kitchin

Look for the large, ancient curb-side sycamore tree and you will know you have arrived at a home that exemplifies the vernacular Colonial Revival style. Built in 1918, when Americans were looking for correct proportions and details from our country’s early history, this brick home epitomizes the symmetrical, well balanced façade so loved by the turn of the century architects. An eaves front shingled roof protects the symmetrical brick façade with its six-over-one sash windows. The full front one-story porch supported by fluted Tuscan columns has a square spindle railing, wrought iron hand railing and brick stairs which welcome the visitor to the first floor center hall entry with transom and sidelights.

The Surber-Sullivan home features original artwork by local artists.
