Additional Information: | Another map code is 15/36 LUQS 365. Locally designated as part of the Cold Spring Park Historic District, 11/17/1987. Mason: A.G. Ringer. The middle blocks of the boulevard, between Twenty-ninth and Thirty-second Streets, were subdivided into wider lots, permitting larger houses. Consequently, these blocks display a greater architectural variety. For instance, the Edward Weld House (1903) at 2932 West McKinley Boulevard, designed by architect C. F. Ringer in the Colonial Revival style, has classical columns and porch balusters, brackets beneath the eaves, and a Palladian-style arched attic window in the front gable. The narrow wooden clapboarding on the first story and square-butt wooden shingles on the second story to reduce the apparent height of the walls, so the house looks less tall and hulking than if sheathed in a single cladding material. |
