Second Empire

I am working on a case CMA data report for a listing presentation on a Second Empire Designed architecture home this coming week and I am rather excited. Pictured here is my home in East Walnut Hills, also an example of a 2nd Empire designed from the 1880′s. I’ve done some historical research about the design recently. The era of building in the US was 1860-1900 and the name 2nd Empire came from the French rein of Napoleon III (The French 2nd Empire). Very interesting information and what a cool design. It is noted that many sometimes confuse this design with Victorian.
