Welcome To The Holman House

 

The Holman House is a two-story structure, measuring about 62 feet (19 meters) square.  It was designed in a neoclassical style by Montgomery architect, Mr. C. Frank Galliher.

Two identical porticos are centered on the front and west elevations, facing Broad and Mutual Streets.  Four Corinthian columns support a triangular pediment and entablature.  An elaborately outlined oval window adorns the center of the pediment.  The main entry is surrounded by a latticed transom and sidelights, which are flanked by pilasters with capitals that match the main columns.  Above the main entrance is a balcony with wrought iron railings, which features a door with similar transom and sidelights as that below.  The portico is framed by pilasters against the house which match the main columns.

A wrap-around porch stretches around the west, south (front), and east sides of the house.  On the front elevation, French windows with fanlights on either side of the portico open onto the porch.  Casement windows with lattice lights above sit on the second story above the French windows.  On the east side, there are two French windows with casements above and a porte-cochère below a small balcony.  Windows on the west elevation are one-over-one double-hung sash windows, except for casements on a sleeping porch off the rear of the house.

The interior of the house is laid out with a central hall with two bedrooms and a library on one side, and a dining room and salon on the other.  A mantel in the library features reliefs of a horse and a mule, emblematic of Mr. Holman’s early business. The stairwell at the end of the hall is flanked by Corinthian columns.  The second floor corresponds to the first, with a central hall between three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dressing room, and access to the sleeping porch.
