Cochran House

Northeast corner of Baring & 36th Streets in 1891. Wilson Eyre's Henry Cochran House partially in foreground. Eyre's architecture was slightly ahead of his time, especially in Philadelphia. In this example, one can see how the broad low rise roofs and flat planar surfaces of the house's main block help emphasis mass, and make no attempt to reflect the interior layout or uses. From Vickers, Philadelphia: The Story of An American City. 1893.
