| Additional Information: | This one-and-one half story, Front Gabled vernacular building was constructed in 1929. It is located at the southwest corner of Santama Road and STH 13 in the Town of White River. The house is rectangular in plan with its long axis oriented parallel to Santama Road and its principal elevation facing east toward STH 13. The gabled roof is clad in asphalt shingling and the exterior in clapboard siding. In the east fagade, a single window is centered in the gable and just below a one-story, hipped roof porch extends nearly the full-width of the house. The porch is glazed with tall, narrow three-overtwo fixed sash windows set atop a clapboard half wall. The entrance is offset to the south end of the porch. The eaves at the north and south elevations of the house are unenclosed, exposing the rafters. A rear entrance vestibule is located to the west end of the south elevation, opening to a porch of modern lumber construction. The house is in fair condition and retains moderate degree of integrity. The house retains its original cladding and the majority of its original windows; however, the rear vestibule and porch were added at a later date. Although the house displays characteristics common to residential houses constructed in the early twentieth century (including the glazed porch of three-over-one-windows and unenclosed eaves with exposed rafter ends), as a vernacular building, it does not possess a high degree of architectural interest or distinction. |
