No. 120 N. Pearl is a building demonstrating the adaptation of Romanesque elements to the double-house structures popular at the end of the nineteenth century. The two separate sections of the structure are mirror images, centered by a hip-roofed dormer set into a hip roof with clipped gable ends. Each section is fronted by a gabled pavilion, the shingled pediment of which is marked by Stick embellishment and houses a window whose upper sash has a muntined border of tiny, square lights. The second storey features flat-headed windows on splayed brick and terra cotta sills. The first floor tri-part transomed windows are set in a semi-elliptical arch with engaged, turned posts. - Allentown Association (Jan. 2012)
