One of the district's earliest examples of what are now called Ranch Style houses is the fine Colonial Revival-influenced house that was built for the Webers just before the beginning of World War II. Ranch Style houses considered as a type and not a style are typically, perhaps invariably, one-story-tall and most have attached garages. The Weber house has both of these features. In addition, its main north-facing facade also boasts such typical Colonial Revival features as polygonal bay windows, wall surfaces that are covered in either with wide wood clapboard or with fieldstone siding, and wings that have returned eaves and gable ends ornamented with bull's-eye windows. As a result, the Weber house can be said to be a late Colonial Revival style house that also shares characteristics that are typical of ranch houses in general.
Arnold R. Weber was a member of a family that operated three grocery stores in Marshfield and Arnold was the manager of Store No. 3, located at 305 S. Central Ave. |
