Other typical features include low hipped or flat roofs, bracketed <br />cornices, and, particularly in residential examples, a square tower or cupola. In commercial usage, a raised pediment bearing the <br />name or date of the building is not uncommon. A variety of siding materials are used, usually with stringeourses between stories, and <br />sometimes with wall planes framed by quoins, Used for both residential and commercial buildings from the mid nineteenth century <br />through the 1890s, the Italianate style was adapted to "Main Street" commercial buildings and simplified, becoming the "commercial <br />vernacular" of the era (Whiffen, 99). <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />emlhistorieltemplatesTighth E 321 (Chilton House) <br />12/20101 <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />
