The Greek Revival style Jonathan P. Hicks mansion at 609 Vine St., Liverpool, is one of the most impressive cobblestone houses in Onondaga County. It was built about 1854. Note the unequal spacing of the columns on the two-story portico. Hicks also built the nearby Cobblestone Hotel. Note the somewhat awkward unequal spacing of the columns on the two-story portico. The Ionic columns are all the more unusual in that the ram's horns on the capitals are oversized and the fluted columns flare out toward the bottom. Richard Palmer blog.
