Additional Information: | 2013- Rising from a rusticated concrete-block foundation, this side-gabled, Dutch Colonial Revival-style house is covered with horizontal board siding and displays a flared pent between the first and second levels. Eave returns are present on the north and south endwalls for both slopes of the gambrel roof. Centered on the main (east) facade is a short, pedimented gable overhang that protects the concrete stoop. The overhang is supported by square columns and the entrance features sidelights. Replacement double-hung sashes with snap-in muntins are arranged in pairs and tripartite groupings, as well as in a bank of eight on the south end wall. Assessment records and city directories suggest a 1926 date of construction. The first owners were Byron and Margaret James. Byron was an estimator with the McMillan Company. Clarence and Mary Kramlich had taken over the house between 1930 and 1940. Kramlich was a vice president with the Piggly Wiggly Corporation; he sold the house to Fred Agrell by 1951. |
