NOTES
Additional Information:2012- This two-story-tall, rectilinear plan, clapboard and stucco-clad Craftsman Style house has a main facade that faces west onto John
Ave., and it was built in 1918 according to the City of Superior Assessor's records. The house has a mostly clapboard-clad first story,
although the first story of its main facade has now been sided in vinyl, its second story is clad in stucco, the front-facing main gable
end of the house is clad in stucco and false half-timber work, and the house is sheltered by a front gabled main roof. The house's main
facade is asymmetrical in design and it is dominated by a projecting, gable-and-shed-roofed, one-story-tall, full-width front porch that
was still open when first surveyed in 1983 but which has now been enclosed.
