lead article image change -- image 4 for image 1

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello,

I’d like to propose changing the lead image of this article from the Georgian Revival-style home currently pictured (built in 1937) to the Tudor Revival-style "house on Witherspoon" (image #4, which already is included in the article).

The home pictured in image #4 is 104 Witherspoon Road, which, according to the 2001 National Register of Historic Places registration form for Homeland, is a "representative example of architectural styles that characterize the district." The Tudor Revival style comprises 188 houses in the Homeland historic district.

The home at 104 Witherspoon, designed by architect J. Winthrop Wolcott for the Roland Park Company in 1925 and built in 1926-27, was one of the first three houses built in Homeland and is the first structure listed in the "Specific Examples of Contributing Buildings" section of the 2001 NRHP application. It also appears on the cover of the January 1927 Roland Park Company Magazine: https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/items/4fed56f9-e278-4239-880e-27e21bd18bc2.

I believe that this Tudor Revival example more clearly reflects Homeland's architectural character and historical development than does the home in the current main image; the home's "European country house" style, with its deeply pitched slate roof, gable windows, satisfying massing, and gentle details (for instance, an extended "sleeve" façade that sweeps downward to the right) make it a lovely architectural ambassador for the neighborhood.

I’m happy to hear other editors’ thoughts before making the photo change.

Thank you! Shining twins (talk) 03:00, 29 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
