| Additional Information: | The small, one-and-one-half-story home of George T. & Ida Holtz was constructed in 1926 on the west side of North Main Street. The George T. & Ida Holtz House is rectangular in plan and is covered on the exterior with wooden clapboards and features a wooden skirt board above the rusticated concrete block foundation. The symmetrical front façade contains a centered entry door flanked on each side by a grouping of three wooden 6-over-1-light double-hung windows at the first floor level. The house is covered by a moderately-pitched side-gabled roof. Centered on the front roof is a wide, low dormer covered with a shallow pitched gabled roof with wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafter ends. The center third of the front face of the dormer is slightly recessed and contains a grouping of three small, wooden 6-light windows. The front entry door is sheltered by a porch that spans the entire length of the front façade. The porch’s brick half wall, capped with a concrete sill, features wide, high projecting piers of brick at both corners that support stucco-clad arches, elliptical facing the front and round facing the sides. The porch’s front brick half-wall features similar, but smaller, projecting piers on each side of a centered opening at the top of a string of wooden steps flanked by lower, curved-topped extensions of the brick half-walls that terminate at matching piers, all capped with a concrete sill. The porch is covered by a flared extension of the main roof. A brick chimney is located near the front on the north side façade. All portions of roof on the house feature minimal, single-member wooden brackets. ORIGINAL WOOD SURROUNDS AND WINDOWS, DECORATIVE BRACKETS, GABLE DORMER, C.1950 GARAGE. |
