Richard M. Skinner House

The Richard M. Skinner House is a historic house located at 627 East Peru Street in Princeton, Illinois. Built in 1878, the house was designed by Princeton architect Joseph Plummer Bryant. Bryant's design was largely a Second Empire work but also included Italianate elements. The house has a mansard roof, a characteristic Second Empire feature, with a projecting central pavilion at the front entrance; seven dormers project from the roof. The roof's cornice is bracketed, displaying the design's Italianate influence. A veranda along the front of the house features detailed moldings along the edge of the roof and a balustrade along the bottom.[2]
