OHU50K NOTES

Whenever I see a Second Empire, my heart skips a beat. This c.1890 fixer upper in Friendship, New York, is slathered in white and needs work, but most of the big stuff has already been done. And on this one, New York taxes are reasonable.

Second Empire style structures took inspiration from the skyline of Paris under the reign of Napoleon III during France’s Second Empire period. Wealthy Americans loved the flashy style, especially during the boom period following the Civil War under President Ulysses S. Grant. In fact, in some areas of the country, the architectural style was called the Grant style. That name never really caught on, though, especially in the South.
