John Monroe Holliday Residence, c. 1948

With influences of Colonial and Green revival styles, this two-story rectangular brick house replaces a previous family residence that was destroyed by fire in 1943. It has a hipped roof with round dormers, a two story full façade porch with Ionic columns, and porte-cochere attached to the back of the house. The entrance has federal style fanlight and sidelights. It's distinctive counter-balanced gate with lighted columns and heavy landscaping buffers the U.S. highway 501 noise.
