| Additional Information: | Simple Front Gable form house with minimalist reurned eaves that are a later addition. Later Craftsman style front porch now spans width of house. Gable end above porch now clad in wide aluminum/vinyl or steel clapboard siding, but side elevations still have their wood clapboard siding, which may or may not be original. Cut stone foundation. This house has been on this site since at least 1880, when a woodcut of it appears in the Columbia County history published in that year and it also appears on the 1874 Bird's Eye view of Lodi. When it was built and for whom, however, have yet to be determined. |
