“This imposing Greek revival mansion is the largest surviving home designed by Lewis E. Reynolds, one of the city’s most talented architects of the mid-1800’s, and is one of the finest examples of Southern architecture to be found anywhere,” the listing on Francher Perrin Group says.
“The grandeur of this home begins with the imposing, six-foot high cast-iron fence (over a Quincy granite base) that’s stylized with a honeysuckle blossom motif.”
