'Williston House'

'Williston House', the Judge Horace Russell estate designed by Bruce Price c. 1898 in Southampton with landscaping by Anette Hoyt Flanders.  Russell was a judge on the Superior Court of New York from 1880-1883 and was general counsel for A.T. Stewart's estate.  Click HERE to see 'Williston House' on bing.

Beautiful property. The balustrade around the roof has been removed & second floor balconies enclosed (bathrooms & closets?); still, not much change for a 115 year old house. The shutters added to the second floor windows make it look kind of colonial (to me). But my question is: what is the architectural style in the picture?

Trying to move on from the loss of Inisfada, so its nice to see this survivor. The classical detailing, ionic columns, balustrades, suggest Neo-Classical in my opinion and a very fine looking house. RT

Colonial Revival.

I see that it is all-white now, but the rusty color with white trim is more interesting. Is it brick?
