NOTES
Additional Information:THIS TWO-STORY GABLED ELL FEATURES AN L-SHAPED PLAN CONFIGURATION, A STONE FOUNDATION, A CLAPBOARD EXTERIOR, A WOOD TRIM, AND AN ASPHALT-SHINGLED GABLE ROOF. SINCE 1982, THE ASPHALT SIDING HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WEST FACADE. ALTHOUGH THE HOUSE IS BADLY IN NEED OF REPAIR AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN POOR CONDITION, THE ORIGINAL FABRIC AND SOME ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL REMAIN. FOR EXAMPLE, A TRANSOM LIGHT WAS REVEALED ABOVE THE ENTRANCE ON THE WEST FACADE, BURIED UNDERNEATH THE ASPHALT SIDING.

INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DWELLING AND THE DATES OF THEIR ASSOCIATION INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: EMMERANCE RODOLF, FROM 1847 TO 1860'S (ESTATE); AND WILLIAM PERCH, FROM C. 1871 TO LATE 1880'S. (SEE BIB. REF. A).
