Additional Information: | Arched brick window hoods with corbelled ends; open ell porch with tuscan columns and balustrade; two over two windows. This was the home of August Fluegel, a miller, between 1907 and at least 1930.(A) Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant. The Italianate influenced brick gabled ell house is significant under criterion C as an example of the vernacular gabled ell house form. Among the group of well preserved gabled ell houses remaining in Watertown, this house ornamented mainly by Italianate influenced window heads popular at the time of construction, exhibits exceptional integrity. Good examples of the gabled ell vernacular form include the frame house at 1206 W. Main St. (27-28) and the brick houses at 427 College (36-9), 400 No. Church (23-3), 137 So. Concord Ave. (32-15) and 303 So. 8th St. (38-29). |
