 | Veranda and doorway. Photograph by L.D. Andrew, May 1936. (Reproduction Number: HABS, GA,108-COLM,4-1) Begun in 1859 for the wealthy Scottish immigrant James A. Rankin but not completed until after the Civil War, this town house combines different building materials and details from a number of historical architectural styles. The ironwork shown here on the veranda is based on the Gothic architecture of medieval England and France. The Corinthian columns of the doorway behind it, on the other hand, call to mind the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. The Rankin House is an excellent example of Eclecticism architecture, the term used to describe the mixing of different styles and materials in buildings.
