special features
This stately Connecticut house has an elliptical-shaped arch entry, common in Colonial Revival doorways, into its living room. The trim, or casing, around this opening mimics the detail of a classical column and transitions to the arch with the suggestion of a capital. A keystone detail at the apex completes the design. The egg-and-dart detail on the outer edge of the arch is named for its resemblance to eggs divided by arrows.
