NOTES
Additional Information: A TWO STORY FRAME (NOW SIDED) FARMSTEAD HOUSE HAS A HIP ROOF THAT IS INTERSECTED AT THE FRONT BY A GABLE ELEMENT AND A PROJECTING THREE BAYED TOWER ELEMENT. THIS TOWER WAS ADDED IN 1905. LACY "GINGER BREAD" BARGE BOARDS, ALSO ADDED IN 1905, DECORATE THE OPEN FRONT GABLE. (B). AN ELABORATE DECKED PORCH EXTENDING ACROSS THE FACADE OF THE FRONT FACING GABLE AND A SMALLER SIDE PORCH ARE SUPPORTED BY DEOCRATIVE POSTS THAT HAVE BRACKTED CUT OUT CAPITALS. AN OCCULUS THAT PENETRATES THE GABLE PEAK, A FRONT DOOR WITH SIDE LIGHTS AND TRANSOM AND SIMPLE WINDOW CORNICES CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL CHARACTER OF THE HOUSE. THERE IS AN EXTENSION AT THE REAR. ALTHOUGH THIS HOUSE IS IMPORTANT TO THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF HAZEL GREEN BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST ELABORATE FRAME VICTORIAN HOUSE IN HAZEL GREEN, ITS SIGNIFICANCE HAS BEEN GREATLY DIMINISHED BY THE ALTERATION OF THE EXTERIOR FABRIC OF THE HOUSE C. 1960. PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE HOUSE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE: HENRY GRAY, MARTHA JEWELL, AND NAOMI JEWELL WILLIAMS IN 1877 AND AL WILLIAMS FROM 1905 TO 1965.
