Abstract
The Dr. Henry Posert House was built in 1909. It is located at 1350 Peabody Avenue in the Central Gardens area of Memphis. It is a part of the Beaux Arts architectural style and made of stone. It has large and extremely ornate Corinthian columns as well as engaged columns also in the Corinthian order. There are quoins on the corners of the facade of the building. There are arches on either side of the house. There is a blind arch around the front door with a keystone at the top of the voussoir.
