A continuation of the fundamental principles already underway are to be noted in the several structures following which have been grouped not because of any chronological construction considerations, although most assuredly they are nearly contemporary to each other, but rather to show the tremendous spread of this particular box type. These examples were chosen at random from the perhaps forty or fifty similiar structures still extant. With this large number still in existence today, it is difficult to imagine the countless hoards there must have been in 1840 or 1850.

In each case is used the typical off-center entrance, the pedimental mouldings and the entablature; in most cases is to be seen the typical cornice turn-under and again in most instances, the typical overhanging lintel of the doorframes. The window frames too, bear a marked affinity to each other.

The doorway in figure 2 is perhaps the finest example, with its small entablature, slight splaying-out at the base, and top light panel. This is THE Greek Revival doorway.* On the page following is a doorway of squarer, more massive proportions but still Greek. The doorway in figure 6 has unfortunately been cut but some of its original line still exists. Especially to be noted on these doors are the splendid panelings with their wonderfully careful proportions direct from Lafever. These panels reach a climax in figure 8 with a doorway so distinctive that its degeneration is regrettable.

These structures are once again the "house of the common man" discussed on page 15 of the text.
