Its broad facade combines Georgian Revival and Federal motifs in red brick and terra cotta.","why_significant":"The house is presented as a masterful, original design by Frank Furness that reinterprets colonial revival forms in a late Victorian manner. Its combined horizontal and vertical spatial axes are said to anticipate later American domestic design and to recall Jefferson's Monticello. It is also associated with the Jayne family and with merchant Jacob Lit of Lit Brothers Department Stores.","narrative":"Built in the 1890s on a corner site at the west end of the 1800 block of Delancey Street in Philadelphia, this brick and terra cotta residence was designed by the Furness office for the physician Horace Jayne. Its broad street facade reworks the Georgian Revival center hall plan by pushing the entrance axis off center, leaving the true center empty, and capping the composition with a pedimented dormer. Red terra cotta belt courses, a dentil cornice, and terra cotta putti in the dormer pediments add the ornament that sets it apart from the neighboring Italianate rowhouses. Inside, a main stair, a great hall with a leaded glass skylight, and an overscaled Federal-style mantel organize the house along intersecting axes. It is regarded as one of Frank Furness's most inventive late works and as an important example of how Victorian architects absorbed colonial revival forms into urban domestic design.","period_of_significance":"1895-1937","architect_builder":"Furness, Evans and Company","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:32.40574-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/82003810.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003810/9ea03a3e10-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003810/9ea03a3e10-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jayne_House_Philly.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jayne_House_Philly.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"87002203","name":"Center City West Commercial Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/center-city-west-commercial-historic-district-87002203/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997008","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Jayne_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5901905"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/jayne-horace-house-82003810/"}
