Fodor's Expert Review Francis Costigan House

Built in 1850, this two-story, brick, Greek Revival townhouse is the former private residence of the architect who designed the Lanier and Shrewsbury–Windle houses. An architectural marvel due to the complex design and construction within a small space, it features twin fireplaces, egg-and-dart moldings, and a portico with two fluted columns capped with Corinthian capitals. Fine woodwork throughout is another testament to Costigan's skill as an architect. Period furniture and wallpaper provide a peek at late-1800s interior design.
