| Additional Information: | THIS TWO STORY HOUSE WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1866 AND 1871. (SEE BIB. REF. A). ACCORDING TO THE INTENSIVE SURVEY REPORT DESCRIBING THIS PROPERTY, THE STRUCTURE IS SIDE GABLED IN DESIGN. IT FEATURES A T-SHAPED PLAN CONFIGURATION, A STONE FOUNDATION, A CLAPBOARD EXTERIOR, A WOOD TRIM AND A SHINGLED, MULTI-GABLED ROOF. THE STONE THAT WAS USED IN THE FOUNDATION WAS ALSO USED ON PART OF THE FIRST STORY. A LARGE ADDITION WAS CONSTRUCTED AT THE REAR OF AN EARLIER DATED SMALL COTTAGE. THE COTTAGE, WHICH IS THE SOUTH WING FACING FRONT STREET, VERY LIKELY HAS AN EARLIER CONSTRUCTION DATE. (SEE BIB. REF. A). AN OPEN DESIGNED PORCH APPEARS AT THE REAR AS WELL. THE RESIDENCE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. ALSO RELATED TO THIS PROPERTY IS A SHED. (SEE PHOTO CODE IA 16/17). NO FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING WAS GIVEN IN THE INTENSIVE SURVEY. AN INDIVIDUAL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HOUSE FROM 1870 TO THE LATE 1880'S WAS JAMES ELLINGEN [ELLIGER]. |
