Boatwright-Moore House, Danville, Virginia 1 (This set contains 5 photos) This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by providing a link to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. The 1897 Boatwright-Moore House in Danville, Virginia is more in the Queen Anne mode that Colonial Revival, which is given as the style in the National Register of Historic Places 2015 update to the Danville Historic District. The location is 142 Sutherlin Avenue. The asymmetrical front façade has several interesting details--a shingled, pedimented steep-pitched front gable with centrally located Palladian windows, a 2-story bay with narrow side windows and a large central window on each level and topped with a balustrade with square balusters, and a pointed semi-circular porch with a slight wrap-around feature and a gently sloping roof--but with no finial. The porch roof is supported by slender Doric columns on square piers; the railings are turned, and the entrance is double-leaf wooden doors with large glass panes. The house number prominently displayed in transom. A pair of narrow windows are situated above the porch roof in a part of the front façade which is slightly recessed from the plane. Two brick chimneys are visible from one side of the house as is the cross-gable roof. An odd single course of fish-scale shingling is visible in the side gables. Windows on the side facades are quite narrow. An entrance on one side is at the top of a short flight of wood steps. The house is 3,230 square feet and has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.
