Captain William Webb Wakeman House, 478 Harbor Road (formerly 137 Rose Hill Road), Southport, Fairfield County, CT
Summary
Significance: The Wakeman residence was erected atop Rose Hill, overlooking the harbor circa 1828-33. Designed in the high Greek Revival manner, the structure's prototypical details and generous classical proportions create an appearance of dignified elegance. The three-bayed facade is framed by a two-story portico. Supported by four fluted columns, the capitals and entablature are similar to the "composed" order of Minard Lafever and the "composite" order of Asher Benjamin, popularized in the 1830s and 40s in their pattern books for architects and builders. The principal gable pediment is ornamented with a Greek Palladian-shaped window opening. Interior doorway trim is in bold relief of roll molding and seashell and acanthus motifs. Captain Wakeman's principal concern was in the prosperous shipping trade between New York and Savannah, and was also involved in the East Indian and China transport. As was the case of many of Southport's residents, his wealth was accumulated through Mill River's harbor economy.

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.
Set of images depicting various harbors, ports, and piers together with ships, fishing and sailing boats, and all types of haven-like places and views. All large image sets on Picryl.com are made in two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize the feature, and after that, we ran all 25M+ images in our database through an image recognition machine. As usual, all media in the collection belong to the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
