Landis (James K. Landis) House, Vineland The James K. Landis House, on Landis Avenue in Vineland, is a modest example of French Second Empire architecture. In 1862, the year after this house was built, another Landis Charles K. Landis laid out the city of Vineland. The city was incorporated as a borough in 1880.

The most characteristic feature of the French Second Empire style is the mansard roof, which in this case covers the second story of the building. On a larger Second Empire Style building for example, Philadelphias City Hall the mansard roof covers one of three or four stories. The Landis House also sports a front porch with columns.
