The Mitchell House, located at 200 West Walnut Lane, built circa 1856, represents an idealized image of country living. The design of this large stone English castle is attributed to Samuel Sloan, although it may only be an imitation of his style. The asymmetrical plan and massing, wood battlement tower and Gothic arched entrance and steeply pitched gable roof line recall the medieval days of knights and damsels in distress. The Van Dyke Residence, built circa 1861, is considered as a companion design of the Mitchell House (200 West Walnut Lane) both are attributed to architect Samuel Sloan, but are more likely a Joseph Hoxie designs. This one has a castle theme in the Italian Villa mode. |
