Midtown Memphis - Architectural/design features

I couldn't resist sharing the interesting window and interior door casings is a 1928 English-influenced bungalow in the Vollintine-Evergreen section of Midtown Memphis. The Midtown Section of Memphis is a treasure of bungalows buillt between 1920 and 1930, in a variety of styles.

Most of the original red gum casings and moldings have long been painted over, so it is a real treat to find the beautiful, smooth-grained original wood. I have never seen this type of casing corners, though.(also not the dainty picture rail running all the way to the window on the right.

Also, although painted, this closet door follows the same theme. This reminded me of art deco laden interior scenary from the movies of the 1930s.
