Moses Bulkley House, 176 Main St Southport, Fairfield County, CT
The Moses Bulkley house was designed by the Bridgeport architects Lambert & Bunnell and erected 1861. It is a stunning example of American Pointed Gothic architecture.

The distinguishing feature of this style is the pointed arch; the dominant visual impression of the Bulkley house is its acute angular form. Expansive pointed gables trimmed with a gingerbread vergeboard, pointed arched windows, ogee arches trimmed with jigsaw tracery on the verandah, and a tall square tower topped with a steeply-pitched pyramidal roof and crowned by an Early English style finial at the apex create this sense of verticality.
