Breezy Bluff
Type
The “Pickands House” was first designed in 1896 as a summer residence. The exterior design of the house is Italian Renaissance, a popular style for houses in the late-nineteenth century. Those houses built in the Italian Renaissance architectural tradition were noted for their heavy use of Mediterranean ornamenting incorporated with the needs and wants of the particular architect or patron. The result was the creation of a powerful style of architecture, not only reflective of the age in which it was popular, but also reminiscent of much earlier Palladian and Italian Villa architectural forms.The restoration of the Pickands House was completed in 2001. During the past five years, each segment of the house was evaluated and special details were systematically restored so as to maintain the dignity of the “Renaissance Palladian Design”. All the roofing was replaced and the stucco walls repaired. All of the wood windows were restored maintaining the Palladian design. The 5-foot roof overhangs were built of Cyprus wood. Regardless of the orientation, these detailed overhangs remain in excellent condition. All interior wood and plaster finishes were restored. Oak paneling located in the entrance, library and dining room was restored. Mahogany paneling was refinished in the library. The tea room, although finished in oak paneling was always painted white as was found out.
