| Additional Information: | The two-and-one-half story front gabled house was constructed 1890 according to city assessor records. The house features an asphalt-shingled, clipped gable roof, cream brick exterior and partial out of ground basement with one-story pent roof addition tio the east elevation. The windows throughout the house are modern 6-over-1, double-hung windows and those in the basement additon are 2-over-2, double-hung windows. The principal elevation faces south onto Horicon Street. The entrance is located in the first story and is accessed via a concrete staircase. The entrance is set in a segmental arch door surround and is shaded by a cantilevered gabled awning with round arched ceiling. Single windows are evenly set on either side of the entrance. At the east elevation, a shed roof dormer rises from the roof slope and five single windows are located at the first level above the basement addition. The one-story addition features entrances at the south elevation and off set to the north end of the east elevation. The addition is otherwise comprised of single windows separated by mullions and set atop walls clad in vinyl siding. The house is in good condition with a fairly low degree of integrity. The original windows and doors throughout the house have been replaced and the window surrounds may have been modified from segmental arch openings-as seen in the doorway and the basement level window of the south facade-to the current rectangular surrounds. The original barge boards and eaves have been covered with vinyl cladding. While the basement level addition retains its original windows, the original cladding in the walls below has either been covered or replaced with vinyl siding. Based on these alterations, the house is not a good example of a front gabled vernacular house. The property was not previously surveyed. A new inventory record was crated for it. |
