Benjamin Pomeroy House, 658 Pequot Road, Southport, Fairfield County, CT
Summary
Significance: The Pomeroy house was designed by the locally prominent architect Lambert & Bunnell and erected 1868-69. Patterned in the nineteenth-century Second Empire style, the handsome facade is symmetrical about a projecting three-story central pavilion and dominated by a profusion of details, of bold and delicate proportions. Clusters of expertly carved square colonnettes support the porch's extended flat roof; bracketed modillions receive the weight of the deep, roll molded cornice. A mansard roof covered with a multicolored slate surface and rounded dormers top the composition. Mrs. Benjamin Pomeroy, the wife of one of Southport's industrious and wealthy shipping merchants, built the residence for herself and her daughters. It remained within the family until 1946.

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
