Private Residence 1

Designed in the style of a French chateau, this private residence features a variety of unique masonry details.  Using Marley Tudor brick and Indiana limestone, the residence features an intricate basket weave pattern on the front entryway, front chimney stack east side and southern exposure. Raised bricks protrude from the exterior in interconnecting diamonds to create the basket weave pattern. The front chimney is topped by two diamond-shaped stacks, while the remainder of the exterior features a running bound brick pattern.

Other exterior features include bonded brick or limestone arches around doors and architrave around windows. Balcony balustrades and water table bands provide additional accents around the house. Leonard Masonry also installed solid limestone steps and had to cut lights to fit in the stone. The interior features seven fireplaces, five of which have visible exterior stacks, including the fireplace on the veranda. Stone comprises the entire veranda fireplace, while the others are primarily wood with stone accents.
