Prep work

South side of the house with about 70% prep work complete. That is the tinted primer for the walls. Overall the house will be dark blue, soft yellow, and white.  There are also like 4 different grays for areas of the porch. 
"Reminiscent of E.K. Powe house (same architect or builder?); tall ceilings and beautiful curved stairs to left of front door; short fluted Corinthian columns, leaded glass transoms and rondel, terra cotta capitals. Now used as "wino house" run by Ma Kerry. She takes their social security checks and doles out food and shelter.  Markham was in clothing business" Notes from the preservation file from February 1981.
