LIDDON HOUSE

-A A +A
1907–1908, B. F. Liddon. 804 Webster St.

Liddon’s own residence, known locally as Liddon’s Castle, is a classical/medieval melange. The limestone body of the house, with its circular, battlemented towers, has the same heavily rusticated masonry as Liddon’s Citizens Savings Bank (see NE6). Projecting forward somewhat anomalously, the front portico has fluted Corinthian columns and a stuccoed pediment. On the interior, there are mosaic tile floors, beamed ceilings twenty feet above, and leaded glass windows.
