WALL DETAILS

Wall Details
Wall details were the
norm in the Federal
Period and seemed to
be where excess was
primarily found. Bright
colored wallpapers in
various hues of pastels
were found with details
such as urns, acanthus
leaves and garland.
Other wallpapers
featured scenes
reflective of the time
period. Dentils were a
common feature as well
as chair rails (dado),
paneling, wainscoting,
and lathing (on the
interior of the wall)
Crown molding was
deeply ornamental with
a variety of patterns
used and commonly
carved in wood.
Baseboard was
generally tall (at least
4-5 high), made of
wood and also adorned
with a detail prevalent
to the time period.
Description

Federal Period. This consists of wood
carved baseboard, chair rail as well as
paneling. There is also ornate crown
molding with details that are specific to
the Federal period.

CEILING DETAILS

Ceiling Details
Ceilings were an opportunity
for additional ornamentation
during the Federal style of
architecture. However,
ornamentation was
traditionally kept simple.
Medallions were one of the
most common ceiling details,
carved into plaster or wood
and typically found around
the hanging point of light
fixtures. Ovals were a
common shape with details
such as the festoon. Ceiling
details were typically white
or a variation of white. This
helped the ceiling to look
uniform. While the medallion
was there to add flair to the
ceiling, it was not meant to
contrast with the ceiling color.

FURNITURE DETAILS

Furniture Details
Furniture during the
Federal style was all
about emphasizing
beautiful wood and
applying stains that
would accent the
coloration of that wood.
Mahogany, cherry and
oak were popular
materials. Simple
cabriole legs were often
found on chairs and
inlay was a huge part of
the design in this period.
Inlay designs ranged
from a variety of
popular symbols
relevant to the period.
Upholstery ranged in the
color palette known to
the Federal style but
stayed more in the pastel
range rather than the
deep blues, greens and
reds.

LIGHTING DETAILS

Lighting Details
Identify typical:
Colors werent common in light
fixtures as much as particular
materials and finishes. Bronze
and brass were common
materials and gilt finish on wood
carved pieces was the norm.
Hand blown glass was found in
foyer fixtures where candles
could be lit and emit life easily.
Design was heavily inspired by
the Neoclassical Period but with
ornamentation that represented
the American spirit
(predominantly the eagle but
also horses) Lamp shades
werent prevalent because
candlesticks and oil were the
primary sources of light and
needed to be lit in an open
space. Wall sconces,
chandeliers and candlesticks
were the most common style of
light fixtures with the sconces
typically coming in pairs of two.

A common theme in transitional housing across the country seems to be the gathering spaces. One of the primary gathering space is the kitchen
and dining room, usually on the first floor. This is where the women eat three meals a day in a community setting. While individually furnished
apartments are typical as well as semi private spaces and individual sleeping areas; a lot of the population still choose to come and eat with one
another. Florence House has a few specialty gathering spaces such as an outdoor patio outfitted with lots of furniture so women can spend time
outdoors comfortably and a hair salon for various hairdressers willing to donate their time. Other gathering spaces, featured in the YWCA can vary
from activity rooms to actual gyms outfitted with a pool and exercise equipment. CAAW seems to be the exception with no community gathering
spaces outside of the laundry room.
Needs of women and their children are only addressed at some transitional houses across the country. The YWCA provides assistance for women
and children in a very similar fashion to the needs of the homeless community without children. Their primary goal is to make everyone feel safe;
especially those fleeing dangerous situations with a child. Individual needs are always assessed but specific needs for women and children are:
housing, employment, school, childcare and food security. Florence House accommodations cater primarily to women without children. Women
who are homeless and come into Florence house with a child are evaluated on a case by case basis. One of the needs primarily addressed is
safety. The safe haven semi private dwellings were specifically designed with women fleeing unsafe environments in mind. The needs of women
are addressed in other ways with the clothing closet which provides women in need with clothing for everyday use as well as for job interviews.
The main thing that women need when they come to CAAW is financial support. CAAW offers an advocate on site in the shelter that helps the
women get set up on welfare and food stamps. The women are allowed to stay in the shelter for 30-60 days and then they are moved to the
transitional housing where they can stay up to 24 months.
Typical accommodations provided in private units are relatively consistent across the country. Florence House offers apartments, safe haven units
and emergency beds. The private units are relatively all inclusive and are equipped with everything from pots and pans to furniture donated by
L.L. Bean. The units have the following: kitchen, bathroom as well as a living/sleeping space. The 15 semi private safe haven living spaces are for
women who are not quite ready to manage a household. This setting offers shared areas and helps women feel safe and develop trust. CAAW
offers the same approach in terms of apartment layout (kitchen, bathroom, sleeping/living area) and provide towels and linens for the beds.
There is a communal laundry room which is included in the rent of the housing. Rent is required as part of establishing independence and selfidentities. Laundry detergent and items like that are not provided in the housing. CAAW also does not provide things like toasters or
coffeemakers. There is a donation area that does help women acquire items like dishes and cookware if they require it. The donation center
takes clothes and small household items to help get the women back on their feet.
While these transitional housing units are doing outstanding work for the homeless community, it is crucial to continuously think about the basic
needs of the homeless population. Income may be pale in comparison to basic needs required to live. Transportation also needs to be a factor
when establishing these programs. The latest transitional housing units are close to a day care that also provides after school care. They also boast
proximity to a bus line and are within walking distance to schools of all levels (elementary through high school) and the grocery store. These
practical needs help provide stability for the homeless community looking to rebuild their lives.

Maintenance Information
No maintenance information specifically listed. Sweep regularly.
Keep dirt and debris off of floors. Use damp mop if needed.
Porcelain tiles require a minimum of maintenance. Sweep
thoroughly and mop with a clean damp mop. If necessary, a mild
household detergent can be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
brushes with hard bristles.
Clean up spills immediately, use detergent in strengths
recommended by their manufacturer, allow the detergent to remain
on the surface of the tile as recommended and rinse thoroughly with
clean water to remove the detergent and the emulsified residue.
Choose a product compatible for cleaning the tile and grout at the
same time. It is strongly recommended that a small test area be used
prior to usage of installation, tile, cleaning and maintenance
products to determine if the product selected will serve its intended
purpose.
Use entry rugs to cut down on any dirt or debris that may be carried
onto the carpet. Vacuum on a regular schedule. Clean spills
immediately with damp cloth to avoid staining. Deep clean on a set
schedule using hot water extraction to keep the carpets in great
shape.
Soap and water
Wipe clean with lightly damp cloth
Glazed tile products should be cleaned routinely with an all-purpose,
low VOC household or commercial cleaner. The product chosen
should also be grout joint cleaning compatible. The type of product
may vary depending on the tile application and use. A multipurpose
spray cleaner, which removes soap scum, hard water deposits, and
mildew designed for everyday use, can be used on wall tile areas in
residential baths and showers.
The entire area should be cleaned and scrubbed with cleaner
solution through the use of a cotton mop, cloth, sponge, or nonmetallic brush. The entire area should be rinsed with clean water to
remove any cleaning solution residue. Routine cleaners should never
contain hazardous or polluting products including, but not limited to
acids or ammonia. Acids can damage the grout and the glazed
surface of the tile, and ammonia can discolor the grout.
Unglazed tile should be cleaned routinely with concentrated tile
cleaners that have a neutral pH for safe regular use. These cleaners
are better suited at removing grease, oils and normal spills from
unglazed products.
JUSTIFICATION
Color, balance and proportion are most evident in the design of the transitional home. Pulling from
the Federal period of design where furniture and color theory is concerned, the client will be pleased
to see that the all items will appear within the period limits. Occupants of the space will feel at ease
among the inviting colors, comfortable furniture and soft fabrics. Items will allow the women and
children to feel safe and at home in their new surroundings.
Each space was designed with universal ability in mind. Restrooms have ADA compliant turn around
space, as well as grab bars. The halls and living spaces are well lit to lessen the chance of slips and falls.
Furniture is easy to get in and out of without being too low or too soft and sinking. The gathering
space is for occupants of all ages and stages with its study space, conversation ready furniture
arrangements and built in storage and TV location. All clients and occupants are sure to be satisfied
with their new quarters.
