Alexander Black House : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alexander Black House The Alexander Black House is a historical house of Queen Anne Victorian architectural style located in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. ==History== The house was built around 1897. The owner, Alexander Black, was a great-great-grandson of Samuel Black, who bought the land on which Blacksburg is now located. Alexander Black was a prominent businessman in the town, and his first house reflected the typical design of homes in Blacksburg at the time. When that house burned down, he chose to build a new house in the Queen Anne style. The house features elements such as steep cross-gabled roofs, gingerbread trim, towers, and vertical windows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town of Blacksburg, VA: History of the Alexander Black House )〕 The Black family lived in the house until 1935, when Alexander Black died. The house was then used as a funeral home until 2002. To accommodate its use as a funeral home, the wraparound porch was enclosed, and some interior walls were removed to provide gathering areas. The second-floor balcony and some of the bay windows were enclosed as well, and the house was given vinyl siding.〔
