English: In this photograph of the Southgate-Lewis House (taken circa 1980, directly after historic preservation and restoration) one can see both the northern elevation (the front of the house) as well as the western elevation. As can be seen, there is a strong vertical emphasis with the multiple stories. The gable extends beyond the wall with a pair of brackets at each end. The rafters also extend beyond the walls. There are many one over one tall narrow double-hung windows that are frequently paired and the casement moulding around each window is rather elaborate. On these elevations, one can see ornamental horizontal, vertical, and diagonal white-painted decorative boards that segregate, accentuate, and help to define the structure; that is, the decorative woodwork highlights the carpentered structural framework. The white-painted woodwork highlights the external structure; the white boards segregate the dutch siding from the alternating fish-scale and rectangular shingles, as well as the vertical siding from the horizontal siding. The white boards introduce an entablature of sorts that segregates the two levels of the house. Finally, the white painted woodwork occurs at the corners of the first elevation. The bay is angular with pilasters flanking each window.
