Bowen Mansion

-A A +A
1892, Francis W. Cooper. 229 W. 12th St. (northeast corner of Court St.) (NR)
  • (Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division)

Thomas Bowen, a lawyer, judge, and U.S. senator, built this asymmetrical, three-story dwelling of red brick trimmed with sandstone and undulating shingle. A corner tower with a bell-shaped roof, fluted chimneys, and a steep, multigabled roofline give this Queen Anne house a verticality that keeps it competitive with larger nonresidential structures downtown, where it is a rare survivor of a once elegant residential neighborhood.
