It was moved by the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (HLFI) half a mile south to save it from being demolished in 1997 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.〔"Landmark Fixer Upper", Mary Francis, The Indianapolis Star, July 5, 1998〕 The house is an example the style of American architecture typified by Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing in the mid-nineteenth century. == Style == Andrew Jackson Downing advocated “truth in architecture” while celebrating the picturesque and asymmetrical, and the use of tracery and carving as ornamentation. The Nicholson-Rand House is an American version of Gothic Revival as developed by Downing, built with native materials,.〔"Up for A Revival", Ruth Mullen, The Indianapolis Star, April 26, 1997〕 Downing’s illustrations of country houses are reflected in this house's asymmetry, picturesque windows, projecting eaves with decorated rafter tails and brackets, board-and-batten siding beneath the gables, lacy bargeboard, the many dormers, the entrance porch with its chamfered posts and scrollwork brackets, and the shape of the chimneys. Still relatively rural today, in 1876 the house was two to three hours from downtown Indianapolis by horseback or wagon over twelve miles (19 km) of winding dirt roads. The nearest railroad depot was at Valley Mills, an hour’s walk away. Downing’s principles anticipated several elements of Craftsman houses, and even the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, as noted by architectural historian Vincent J. Scully, Jr. It is likely that the builder of the house, contractor and stonemason David Nicholson, was familiar with the popular books of Downing. His book ''Cottage Residences'' first appeared in 1842 and subsequent editions appeared regularly over the next three decades. Downing’s ''The Architecture of Country Houses'' was published in 1850, shortly before Nicholson arrived in America. Nicholson likely gathered ideas from several other pattern books that proliferated in the 1860s and 1870s. The popular works of architect and engineer George E. Woodward, for example, whose designs to a great degree follow the lead of Davis and Downing may have influenced Nicholson. Woodward’s two volume ''Architecture and Rural Art'' and his ''Country Homes'' and ''Woodward’s National Architect'' were all published in the 1860s and reprinted numerous times. Elements of Nicholson’s house are present in several patterns in each of Woodward’s books, but the general influence still appears to derive from Downing. Some of the materials incorporated in the Nicholson-Rand House appear to be identical to those being used in the Marion County Courthouse which Nicholson helped build. Nicholson was a prominent stonemason and partner in the business of Scott and Nicholson, which constructed the stonework of the massive new courthouse designed by Isaac Hodgson. Its cornerstone was laid in 1872. Whether Nicholson purchased extra materials or was given overruns—or whether he saw them being installed in the courthouse and decided he would like the same for the house he was building for himself—is unknown. But local lore for over fifty years after spoke of wagonloads of material carted from the courthouse building site. The colored tile of the floors in three rooms of the house is the same as was in the courthouse, and the interior woodwork is similar.〔Materials Left from Courthouse Used to Build Home 63 Years Ago, Eddie Throm, The Indianapolis News, undated〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholson-Rand House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
