| Additional Information: | This variation of the Tudor Revival style was built to look like a thatched roof English cottage. The tall and steeply-pitched hip roof has a large jerkinhead front gable. The walls are dark red brick and windows are multi-light sashes. An arched opening on the north side of the house accents the main elevation. Harper was an electrical contractor; in 1930 the household included 5-year-old Ruth. |
