| Additional Information: | 4424 N. 26th Street is a Model 5F with a front gable. Model 5F is "..a two-story, side-gabled, two-bedroom cottage, ..nearly identical to Model 6F, described in parentheses, except for a minor variation in the second story fenestration. ("Model 6F is a two-story, side-gabled unit, unusual in that it features a two prominent entry porches -- one each on the front and side -- that both lead to the living room. The first story of the elevation facing the street has a cantilevered, shed-roofed porch hood featuring a central gable with an elliptically-arched ceiling. The hood stretches across the entire facade, sheltering the central entry door and the two flanking double-hung windows. The side elevation features an entry porch ..whose roof rests on groupings of three square wooden posts at each outside corner, and whose railing is composed of simple, rectangular wooden balusters.. The entry porch is flanked by a single double-hung window on the rear half of the elevation and the second story features two regularly-spaced double-hung windows"). The main elevation of Model 5F, which is three feet narrower than the larger model, is fenestated on the second story with a narow, central, four-over-four double-hung window flanked by two six-over-six double-hung windows." "The original front porch has been completely removed, and the front door has been replaced with a window. The house was aluminum-sided, and the original side porch has been enclosed." (A). |
