Talk:Peter C. DuBois House

Untitled
Little in the exterior of this conservative, essentially Federal-style house warrants the appellation "Greek Revival", no matter what the National Register of Historical Places may blurble. --Wetman (talk) 02:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Read the full application and argue with Neil Larson ... the interior is a classic Greek Revival layout. Daniel Case (talk) 04:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * "Greek Revival layout"? A hall-through layout with paired rooms on either side is Palladian or Georgian: now, double sliding doors communicating between parlors, with Greek key fret in the corners of the doorframes, those are Greek Revival motifs, as are acroteria at the upper corners of window frames. Too bad for readers that special plug-ins are required to display the full application. Since I am expressing sensible doubt, the application should be quoted or paraphrased, as part of the supportive references. Wikipedia is a reader service: "saying" this Federal-style exterior is Greek revival isn't nearly the same as showing that it is, in a first-rate article. I'd piu a "disputed" tag on the article, if I weren't so repelled by tags and taggers. --Wetman (talk) 06:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
