Additional Information: | 2014: This two-story Queen Anne-style house known as the Scholl House was constructed c.1895. It is of frame construction, sheathed in clapboard, and rests on a fieldstone foundation. Asphalt shingles cover the gable roof with two interior brick chimneys. According to the 1974 survey photo the house featured one small gable dormer flanked by two cross gable dormers clad in clapboard with decorative bargeboard, and finials on the front (west) facade. The small center dormer was later replaced with a larger cross gable dormer clad in wood fishscale shingles. A wraparound porch with a hip roof and gable pediments supported by decorative square posts spans a portion of the front (west) and side (south) elevations. According to the 1974 survey photo the spindlework balustrade has been replaced with a geometric pattern. Windows are a combination of fixed, stained glass, diamond multi-light casements, and one-over-one, double-hung sash. 1981: MULTI-PANED WINDOWS. WRAP AROUND PORCH. BARGE BOARDS IN GABLES. |
