19 Water Street

The house was built in 1863 by the Prall family in the Italianate style. The pumpkin pine floors are original as well as the medallions in the parlor and dining room and the crown molding in the living room. The property once included the house behind it as its carriage house. The brick fireplace in the kitchen has been rebuilt with the original brick. For many years the house had been divided into three separate apartments but has since been restored into a single family residence.

This grand Victorian has pairing of all the main and second story windows headed by massive window hoods. Even the tall entry door is paired.

Most of the roof brackets are paired yet there are triplets of roof bracket, expressive of Victorian excess. Speaking of pairs, even the chimneys are paired!.

This is a side-gable house with a center gable and an impressive double story bay facing the morning sun. The house's high siting offers views of the Pequest and Delaware RIvers, a regal residence indeed.
