Additional Information: | Demolished for a Walgreen's prior to 1999. Projecting window cornices; hip roofed dormer; south bay window; leaded glass windows; full length open porch with short Tuscan columns placed on brick bases and balustrade. This was the home of Susan McCormich between 1919 and at least 1934. Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant. This frame vernacular house is important as an example of the vernacular American Foursquare style. One of only a few extant examples in the city showing exceptional integrity, this frame house exhibits the characteristic "Classic Box" shape, hip roof and Neo-Classical and Colonial Revival influenced details popular at the turn of the century. The other good extant examples of this early 20th century vernacular style are located at 1001 No. 4th St. (27-19), 107 So. Church St. (54-7) and 810 No. 4th St. (28-25). Previously surveyed in 1986. |
