Reducing in scale the White House, we come once again to the "house of the common man". But the man has become a sophisticate with noticeable results - a full pediment with flush clapboards now graces the top, a doorway with emphasizing two columned porch, produce more prominent and easily recognized Revival characteristics. Wings and additions are again found at the rear.

The East Onondaga Street house, a fine functional example, is unfortunately less distinguished historically than the Aaron Burt house whose owner was a man of prominence, instrumental in developing the eastern section of the city, an incorporator of the Syracuse Academy (see page 50) and a State Legislator. The entrance porch to his home is undoubtedly later, but the pedimental mouldings and massive chimneys are to be applauded. In both examples will be seen the ever present entablature. The year 1842 was quite obviously the turning point of the Revival in Syracuse with the finest examplss now behind us and definite signs of decay, or a new mode, beginning to pierce the classic idealism. But we should not assume at this stage that we are decadent, for the classic revival spirit is still very much alive.
