Harde & Short design the Red House apartment building
Herbert Spencer Harde and Richard Thomas Short designed the six-story Red House for Eronel Realty, a company Harde founded and named by reversing his wife Lenore's name. Completed in 1904, its red brick and white terra-cotta facade draws on several historical styles, from English country-house windows to Gothic screens, and includes salamanders, the symbol of Francis I.
