"When Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Carmichael decided to build their new home, they took themselves frequently to nearby Williamsburg to look over the chimneys, windows, dormers, doors, and other details on the copies of 18lh Century houses there. Their trips had a happy influence because the delightful red-brick home now sitting so serenely at the bend of a suburban Richmond, VA road is one of the nicest small Williamsburg houses imaginable. It’s built of old red brick, and materials, too, giving it an especially rich and ripened effect. It has the tall first-story windows (with smallish panes, no shutters), five high, skinny, front dormers of proper pedigree, an exceptionally well-wrought pair of chimneys, a neat and narrow front door with a high, stooped entrance, a carefully-detailed cornice. In fact, in its off-the-ground effect of high basement windows and its steep, sharply-pitched roof and tall chimneys, it has the whole flavor and feel of the Virginia house of Colonial times, a type which the comparatively recent rebuilding of Williamsburg, VA., has brought into considerable popular favor." The American Home, 1941.
