A further example of the remodelling of existing structures is the "Towers" (K-1694.43), which is an outstanding example of a radical late-nineteenth-century alteration. It was built as a late-eighteenth-century, Georgian-plan frame building, but was converted in 1893 to conform to the Queen Anne variation of late-Victorian architecture, while still retaining its original plan. The decoration, including cut shingle patterns and additional dormers and the tower, were added to the original frame.(Submitted on April 24, 2025, by Pete Skillman of Townsend, Delaware.)
