Regarding The Italian Villa. Frequently referred to locally as the "Italian villa," number 120 is a pink painted, brick structure of two stories with a low (almost flat) roof and a square entrance tower which rises to a full three stories with large, cornice brackets and a series of narrow, round-arch windows. The building consists of a group of rectangular blocks with round-arch windows on the second story, small one-story porches on the facade and along the south side, and a balustraded, bracketed hood over a round-arch doorway.
