Lovitt Houses PDF Print E-mail

10, 12, & 14 Parade Street were constructed for the Lovitt Family in the alte 1800's.  #10 was constructed in1862 in the Georgian Style for Captain John Lovitt and his wife Elizabeth Guest, by his father, John W. Lovitt.  The tower was added in 1891.  #12 was constructed in the Italianate style in 1874 again by John W. Lovitt, as a wedding gift for his daughter Mary Ellen Lovitt and her husband, George Guest.  Notice the rope like carved mouldings adorning the corners of the house, and the port holes in the frieze band.  Finally, #14 was constructed for John W. Lovitt's widow in 1874, as she wanted to live near her children.  This is an example of the Greek Revival style, which also has some Gothic Revival and Italianate style elements.
