Additional Comments
2457-2459 W. Congress Street is a Model 6A with a reverse floor plan. Model 6A is "..a two-story, front-gabled cottage that features a small, gabled front entry porch with an elliptically-arched ceiling. The porch roof rests on groupings of three square wooden posts at each outside corner, and the railing is composed of simple, rectangular wooden balusters. Flanking the porch are paired double-hung sash windows. The fenestration of the second story consists of two symmetically paired double-hung windows. A louvered attic vent is centered in the gable. The other elevations are simply composed featuring windows and doors randomly placed to respond to interior needs." "A rear, two-story addtion was built when this cottage was convered to a duplex during 1929 and 1930. The original gabled front porch has been removed, aluminum siding was installed, and a new entry door to the second story flat was added to the main elevation." (A).
