Brownlee House is a two and one-half story, five-bay brick house in Eighty-Four, Washington County, Pennsylvania, built in a late Georgian house form with a Greek Revival verandah. The form notes it was constructed around 1846 by Samuel T. Brownlee.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-executed transitional structure that blends Georgian massing and plan with Greek Revival details such as the Ionic verandah and dentiled cornice. It is described as one of the best preserved and well maintained formal Georgian-Greek Revival houses in Washington County, and its interior retains most of its original appointments.","narrative":"Built around 1846 by Samuel T. Brownlee on the family farm in Eighty-Four, Washington County, Pennsylvania, this two and one-half story, five-bay brick house follows a late Georgian plan. Its common bond brick walls, twin gable chimneys and six-over-six windows reflect the Georgian form, while the Ionic verandah with its entablature and dentiled cornice brings in Greek Revival detailing. Brownlee reportedly adapted plans used for the Reed House on East Maiden Street in Washington, which was built in the 1820s. The front entrance has sidelights, a transom and fluted pilaster jambs, and the interior has a central hall and a cherry staircase. The verandah is regarded as well proportioned to the house. The house is valued for the harmony of its two styles and for its unusually well preserved condition among formal Georgian-Greek Revival houses in the county.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Samuel T.
