ARCHITECTURAL INFLUENCES 1780-1970 Continued
8.	205 South Beach - Merchant's Bank - This commercial structure
completed in 1908 is an excellent example of High Victorian Italianate which was popular several decades before its construction. The proportion and detail are excellent and the original building was probably painted In rusts and browns. The pink granite column at the entrance corner is a classic Italianate detail.
9*	230 South Beach - Our Lady of the Gulf Church - An earlier
excellent Gothic Revival church building on this same site was lost to fire in 1908. Its replacement is an interesting combination of Romanesque Revival and Neo-Classic. The round arch windows, towers and semicircular apse all typify Romanesque influences but the front portico and most of the interior detail is solidly Neo-Classic. This combination of styles is typical of the first decade of	this	century.
10.	414 South Beach - Swoop	House - This house is an excellent	example
of early Greek Revival and probably dates from the 1840s. The property has been in the same family for over 80 years and looks now almost exactly as it did in the 1895 "Along the Gulf". The gallery originally was open on all 4 sides of the	main	house. The kitchen	and	dining	room in
a separate wing was typical of	many	ante-bellum homes.	The	iron railing,
dormer decorations and kitchen ornament is probably from the 1880s. Original excellent proportions of gallery and cornice are worth noting.
