[A set of 10 photos] Edward G. Frye (1870-1942) and Aubrey Chesterman (1874-1937) formed an architectural firm in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1900 known as Frye and Chesterman. Together they were responsible for the Jones Memorial Library in 1906-1907, which has an individual National Register listing. Just one block up Rivermont is the flamboyant 1895 Jones House-Jeremiah J. Hurley House, designed and erected when Frye was 25. The firm relocated to Roanoke, Virginia in 1913. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frye_%26_Chesterman

The Jones House at 456 Rivermont is a Queen Anne-style home, situated on a rise so one looks up at the residence from the street. Asymmetrical and highly irregular, the house is 2 1/2 stories and has a hipped roof and cross gables. The shingles on the roof are patterned, including fish-scale pattern. Rising from the roof are at least 3 chimneys, each uniquely clustered with corbelling at the top. There are at least 3 turrets on this structure along with various round and multi-sided bays. The conical roof of the front pedimented gable is not visible in these photos. Also on the front a round bay above the porch culminates in a truncated turret. A third turret, a 2-story one, is attached to the main house by a single-story wing; it rises to a filigree iron finial of distinctive ornamentation. A fourth abbreviated cone is at the rear of the house. Panels liberally decorate the cornices. A variety of windows appear throughout the structure. The front porch entrance is a pedimented gable ornamented with panels and with an understated spandrel. The porch is large, a wraparound with a visible curved corner; the porch roof is supported by slender Doric columns with spandrels between. The front entry consists of 2 partial glass doors. Nowhere does there seem to be a lengthy flat surface to the facades without a projection of some sort. In 1936–37 the house was remodeled into four apartments. With 5 baths and 6 bedrooms, there were overall 15 rooms. The house size is 4,524 square feet. Today it's the location of a medical group focuses on counseling--Central Virginia Community Services
