McGuffey House Architecture: Windows and Doors
Doors
The front door and window transom also date to the 1860s renovation. However, if you look closely you can detect a few arched bricks below the door lintel. These bricks are most likely the voussoirs [Figure 3] remaining from the original Federal fanlight [Figure 4] that originally surmounted the entrance.
