c. 1895, D. Wiley Anderson. 2818 and 2902 Ellwood Ave.

These two mirror-image brick Italianate villas, complete with towers, occupy opposite corners. Anderson was more comfortable with the highly picturesque nineteenth-century styles than with plainer ones, and the use of the Italianate in this case is unusual for its late date. Some of the details, such as the second-floor window in the tower, indicate the nascent Colonial Revival, but the major feature, the campanile, looks back to pattern books of the 1870s and even earlier.
