House by the Railroad, 1925
The house as cathedral: It's often said that the use of spires and arches in medieval cathedral transform their huge mass into images of gravity defying ascendance. The tower section of the house is like the spire, while the slender columns supply lightness and lift, somewhat like flying buttresses. The house is in the Gothic Revival style, which further reinforces its cathedral-like character. And the white color serves an additional role of creating the sense of lightness.
