Neighbors Making History: The Tesson Family - Life and Death on the Water Frank H. Tesson, was a veteran boat pilot and captain during the heyday of steam boating on the Mississippi River. Frank B. Tesson met his death on distant seas in one of the most well-known disasters of the 20th century. Keeping Up Appearances: A Story of Blended Styles Doubt loomed great over a caption on an old photograph written long ago with an ink pen that said, Dwelling erected by the Rev. John C. Sherwin on NW corner of Cameron Ave. & 10th St.” Was the caption written with a shaky hand correct? Architectural Styles and Revivals: Religious Romanesque The most obvious feature in the Romanesque style is the round arch, rather than the Gothic pointed arch. Round arches require more massive walls to restrain the load above them, so the Romanesque interiors were often rather dark with a few small windows placed high up in churches.
