Frank Pulaski was a Jewish merchant who came South to escape the racism of the Know-Nothing party. He commissioned William H. Parkins, Georgia’s most important architect of the post-Civil War period, to build this elaborate Gothic Revival cottage. Parkins was also the designer of the Randolph County Courthouse and Old Main at Andrew College.

Be happy that they bother to paint the home, unlike some who watch it rot around them. I understand the concerns of “proper” paint colors, however sometimes you take what you can get….a home that is maintained
I can’t speak for others, but I think it’s fine to paint it any way you want because you’re prolonging its life. I, too, understand the historic color concerns, though.
Are these paint colors historically accurate? I thought only San Francisco painted houses like this. Just curious, I like the colors.
Love the bright colors!
Thank You. I’m slowly getting it painted. It is a painted Lady 5 colors. Many do not get it. Gothic Revival built in 1883. Many historic houses have been torn down. We have no historic regulations. We have no leadership or anyone running the city. It’s a city that has been held back and the people beat down in Jesus name. Currently a very hopeless situation.
Impressive! I like the dormer roof shape.
The house is Gothic Revival not Queen Ann. It was built in 1883. The house is a painted Lady.
Sorry, Tim. I was using the information on the National Register forms. I know they’re often incorrect or only guesses. I saw the Gothic Revival influence in the dormer, of course, but had never seen such an elaborate and “frilly” (for lack of a better word) Gothic Revival house.
I love the colors, as well.
I guess I was also thrown off by the date, which is quite late for Gothic Revival.
