Additional Comments
THIS SQUARE, SECOND EMPIRE INFLUENCED, BRICK VENEERED, TWO-STORY HOUSE FEATURES A STONE FOUNDATION AND A MANSARD ROOF PENETRATED BY PEDIMENTED ROOF DORMERS. CORBELLED SEGMENTAL ARCHED WINDOW HOODS OVER SINGLE, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE WINDOW ARRANGEMENTS AND AN ALTERED FRONT ENTRANCE CHARACTERIZES THIS ONE SUBSTANTIAL HOUSE. THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1897. (SEE BIB. REF. B). THE CURRENT OWNER OF THE STRUCTURE AS OF 4/18/83 IS DR. C. L. STEIDINGER.

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

ONE OF TWO HOUSES REMAINING IN PLATTEVILLE WITH MANSARD ROOFS, THIS HOUSE IS IMPORTANT TO THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF PLATTEVILLE BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY MANSARD ROOFED HOUSE TO HAVE ITS NATURAL RED BRICK COLOR.


Flat-roofed garage addition is appended to the rear.
