(Second Empire is basically Italianate style with a Mansard roof, popular 1860-1880, mostly in the 1870's after the Civil War. The key feature of the style is the mansard roof with dormer windows, decorative brackets and molded cornice around the windows and doors, and outward projections of the buildings center or side. This Pearl Street home has side projections and incredible decorative cornices, check out the lions around the window.
