Experience a rare piece of architectural history at 47 Moreland Terrace. Built in 1928 for Sylvia K. Knowles, this 4,470 SF Colonial Revival with Georgian & French Country influences is a local anomaly featuring rare brick construction with a German Smear finish, copper downspouts, & wrought iron balconies. The interior blends period sophistication with modern accessibility including an elevator serving all levels.
