Abandoned Richardsonian Romanesque House in Detroit ( Former James Scott Mansion )
Made by Derek Farr ( DetroitDerek )
I'm not an architecture expert by any means, but I saw a report on all of the Richardsonian Architecture left over in Detroit and it kind of stuck in my mind. The style of architecture was popular from about 1880 to 1910, and several Detroit Architects specialized in it, most notably George Mason. I just thought the house looked kind of cool and castle-esque. The funny thing about this style in Detroit is there's quite a few ( including this one ) where either the front or the 3 visible sides are in this style, and the back of the building is good everyday piling of bricks. Almost like a facade in a movie....here's some info I found related to that: When the owner of an adjoining lot refused to sell Scott some land that he wanted to add to his property at Park and Peterboro, Scott spent $20,000 to build a sham house. From the Peterboro side it looked like a mansion, but its elegant facade was attached to a high, windowless wall, whose only purpose was to shut out light from the home of the recalcitrant neighbor. This house was abandoned in the early 1970's.
