Its original appearance is knorm from two contemporary representations. The earlier is a water color by a local artist, George Simpson. The second is a small unsigned pencil drawing made during the Civil I.7ar. The illustrations show a two-story stoccoed house with a three-bay facade. Sheltering the front entrance is a porte-cochere supported on two columns. On the north side is a three-story tower with flat roof, bracketed cornice, and paneled parapet. The roof of the main body of the house is similarly treated except that the parapet is not paneled. Panels are employed on the sides of the chimneys, however. The south xall features a central, three-part bay, and a two-story service wing is attached to the rear or east wall by an arcade. The windows on both the first and second floors are long and narrow and have no particular 1 embellishents. The Simpson drawing shows six-over-nine sash on the first floor and six-over-six sash on the second. Separating the two floors is a w I nar:mv, unornamented belt course. The original room arrangement and appearance of the trim is unlcno~m. m The house probably had the same number and type of rooms as shown in the m drawings for the first two proposed designs. In these, the architect, Robert - Young, provided a hall, library, morning room, drawing room, dining room, stair hall, store room and water closet on the first floor. The second floor Z hs divided into four bedrooms, dressing rooms, water closet, bathroom and w service areas. The tower room was designated as a "Ladies Sitting Room." --I The house bras set deep in a landscaped park. Beyond the park were farmlands. W As remodeled in 1910, the flat roof, cornicc, and parapet were removed c and rsplaced by a spreading hipped roof with deep eaves and exposed rafter D ends. Wide, three-part hipped roof dormers were placed on the roof's east and west slopes. Both the tower and the three-part. bay were raised an extra I !story and given hipped roofs. The porte-cochere was replaced by a veranda - / ?hat extends across the entire first floor of the facade. A new porte-cochere iwas built in front of the porch's center bay. The small pane sash was re- z lmoved and replaced with sashes of single sheets of glass. The service wing v, was retained but wes attached to the house and given a hipped roof. Its I.I interior was col-.verted into s. handsome game room. insidz, the house was compl.etely retrhmed; none of the original wood- ]workI or interior decoration was retained. The Bungaloid feeling of the exterior was carried into the stair hall. It features a finely crafted exposed joist ceiling, with tr~;rgue-and-grooved work between the joists. The /rich,I dark-wood stair rias given square-tapered newells and a balustrade /containing ?.5ogul-typc arches. The reception roorns were restyled with a / combination of Louis XVL and Georgian motifs. The paneling and ryoodwork in the drawing room and writing roo;n are dignified examples of their period. Presently, the interior is enhanced by an exceptionally fine collection of antiqdes. The landscaped park is largely intact and contains many of its original trees. The grounds are accented by a series of early-twentieth-century out- buildings and farm structures built for David Dunlop 11. Of particular interest is a large, log manager's house dcsigned by Carneal and Johnston, 1 archi'cects of the remodeling.

The estate was formed by David Lbnlop (1803-186&), a native of Ayr, Scotland, who settled in Petersbuzg, ..

An officer in the encsmp~nent, Johnson Haygood, in his :~.'fi-uirsI--__ of _the _!<zr _of -.-> Succession (Columbia, S.C., 1910) provides a detailed Idescription of the house and grounds as they appeared then.

The house had fallen into a bad state of repair in the intervening years, and David IXinlop I1 undertook an extensive renovation and remocieling. The Richmond firm of Carneal and Johnston was engaged in 1910 to carry out the project, and they gave the house a more fashionable appearance by restyling it in the then-popular "Bun~aloid"mode. me basic plan was kept but a rpreading hipped roof with iride dormers, deep eaves, and exposed rafter ends was substituted for the original low roof and parapet. The Asiatic fneling was carried into the interior in the stair hall but the reception rooms were redesigned in a more sedate combination of Louis XVI and Georgian ssyles. While the house thus took on an Edwardian character, the basic out- liqc of the handsome park waa retained, thus preserving the ante-bellum flevor of the estate.

  • Design and Functional Characteristics of the Multi-Family Housing Architecture in the Period of Mature and Late Modern
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering Vol. 18, No 2, 2020, pp. 177-193 https://doi.org/10.2298/FUACE200927013P DESIGN AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING ARCHITECTURE IN THE PERIOD OF MATURE AND LATE MODERN ARCHITECTURE OF NIŠ - CASE STUDIES UDC 72.036(497.11) 728.2(497.11) Marjan Petrović Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, University of Niš, Serbia Abstract. The topic of this paper is the functional and design characteristics of multifamily (formerly collective) residential buildings created in the post-war period of Modern architecture of Niš. For the post-war period of intensive and mass construction of residential buildings, a time classification of constructed buildings was performed, and they are classified into two categories. The first category includes buildings built in the 1950s, in the period of the „mature“ Modern architecture, which is a continuation of modern architecture of Niš between the two world wars. The second category consists of residential buildings created in the late 1960s and 1970s, in the period of the late (industrial) Modern architecture of Niš. In this paper, two representative examples of residential and commercial buildings from the mentioned periods were selected, both built on the 14. Oktobar square, in the central core of the city of Niš. As typological representatives of the mentioned periodizations of construction, the buildings will be analyzed in the form of two case studies. Key words: Modern architecture in Niš, functionality, design, building, form 1. INTRODUCTION The term "housing" can, in the context of this research, be defined as the elementary and existential need of human action in architecture and the living space in general.
