Digital image of DeTurk House from photographic print

Digital image of photographic print showing damage to pent roof, clay tiles, and “outlookers” [cantilevered pent supports] caused by collision with garbage truck c.1974-1975. Details shown in this image include: pent roof lath, rafters, damaged tiles, pedimented hood, gable pent hood, recessed-panel door, roughly coursed masonry{n}, random-rubble eaves wall masonry, rake board, granary door. {n} to be distinguished from “ashlar”, a more formal English wall pattern laid up with blocks of uniform dimensions and more carefully dressed to provide a common vertical wall-plane [see Pottsgrove mansion and George Douglass House for nearby examples]. The DeTurk masonry employed pointing of varying thicknesses, and rough leveling to simulate authentic regular coursing. The stone units here are also minimally dressed to a common plane.
