Verona: Architectural History and Gardens

New Bethel Baptist Church is located in Verona. The George-Vest House and Verona High School represent different architectural forms; at Brianza Gardens and Winery, a footpath leads to formal gardens.

Architecture: two distinct building profiles

The George-Vest House has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2000. As a locally distinctive Greek Revival-style I-house, it is significant for its architectural design. Building type and style name two different aspects of the same structure: I-house describes the form of the house, while Greek Revival describes the style.

Verona High School has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2002. It is a two-story vernacular brick school building with a seven-bay façade. In comparison with the George-Vest House, the focus here is on building type, material, height, and façade arrangement; for the house, I-house and Greek Revival are the defining terms. The two buildings thus offer distinct architectural highlights. Their listings are two years apart.

Garden path at Brianza Gardens and Winery
