Saville-Wooten-Lee-Giovingo

 

360 Church Street, NE

 
 
 

           

This example of Greek Revival architecture was built in 1890 by Bob Saville.  Following the symmetrical plan of the house, two columns stand inside the front entrance.  The downstairs flooring is oak parquet with mahogany Greek key inlay.  The chandeliers were imported from Italy.  One is very old, having originally hung in an old Catholic church.

            The Giovingos purchased the home in 1989 and began the lengthy process of restoring the house to its former beauty.  The wiring and plumbing has been replaced; the interior remodeled and the kitchen and den expanded.  The last project; replacing the columns, restoring the porch and painting the house, was completed in 2004.
