| Additional Information: | This two-story American Foursquare house was constructed c.1910. It is rectangular in plan with clapboard siding and an asphalt-shingled side-gabled roof. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in plan due to uneven fenestration across the first story. A 1-story porch with squared wood supports and railings spans the width of the facade; the porch has a front-gabled roof with wood shingles in the gable. Inside the porch is a single front door and a three-sided bay window with four 1-over-1 windows. The second story contains two 1-over-1 windows and a central single-pane window. A front-gabled dormer projects from the center of the front roof slope; the dormer contains a pair of 1-over-1 windows and is clad in wood shingle siding. The house is in fair condition and retains a moderate degree of integrity (the front door is a modern metal replacement and windows appear to be vinyl or aluminum replacements). As a representative of American Foursquare architecture, the house is fairly typical with its boxy massing, broad proportions, full-width front porch, and lack of overt stylistic details (although its side-gabled roof is not typically associated with the American Foursquare style). Overall, the house is not an especially unique or remarkable representative of the style. |
