So, Zach is this Percy Pyne Rivington II, or is it Percy Rivington Pyne II?

So, the many Percy Rivington Pyne II's aside, I've always found this such a handsome house.

But, one can see that MM&W started out trying to do a Boston Federal townhouse, but they just couldn't stop...

I was able to get this one on camera thankfully. Thank God this one was saved from demolition, along with its neighbors.
