The Augustine house is another type of Mobile house and is interesting because of the two-storey porch across the front. The superimposed order is used, in this ease, Doric order over Doric. The friezes have been omitted. The columns are round and smoothly stuccoed. Its proximity to the street suggests that this house has been used from the very beginning as a rooming and boarding house, rather than as a residence. Source of Material: E.
