Like his other houses on the square (
BU35), this wildly asymmetrical gray stone house shows Bean's awareness of Wilson Eyre Jr.'s flamboyant early works before the Philadelphian turned toward more aesthetic control in the 1890s. The houses give a sense of the concentration of wealth in the downtown in the years before the decentralization made possible by the automobile.
N. C. James House
c. 1890, Milton Bean. 110 N. Main St.
