Description:
|
"Originally a Greek Revival cube, Greenhills became an Italian villa twenty years later. The main entrance once faced west, the present main entrance was a side door. A bull's-eye window pierces the projecting gable. Metal cresting is set around the mansard roof, the circular openings of which echo those in the hood molds as well as the bull's eye. The tower balances the composition. Buchanan, an ardent horticulturist, sensitively landscaped the grounds. From his verandas the prospect opened out, as Sidney Maxwell observed in 1870, 'upon the extensive and elegant improvements of Clifton, Mt. Auburn, and Avondale"; to the north of he looked over "the Millcreek Valley, with its varied spectacle of village and farm, cultivated fields and distant forest-covered hill.'"
