| Additional Information: | Now set on two acres, this house once surveyed a 140-acre farm owned by "Jones and Breese". In the early days this handsome brick Italianate dwelling was crowned by a cupola. The most interesting feature in its design is the eastern ell-wing, which is recessed and surrounded by porches. This was accomplished by squaring off the hipped roof and its bracketed cornice, thus creating a two-story, two-sided veranda. Much of the old farm was turned into a country club. PAIRED BRACKETS UNDER EAVESRECESSED PORCH AND BALCONY [Date Cnst:CA] 2025: The two-story Italianate-style farmhouse was constructed circa 1860. It has a rectilinear footprint, painted brick exterior walls, and is topped by a hip roof sheathed in asphalt shingles and accented with paired brackets. The western half of the façade is symmetrically arranged with three fenestration bays. Fenestration primarily consists of six-over-six, double-hung wood windows with stone sills, pedimented crowns, and fixed shutters. The main entrance has a simple entablature with pilasters, sidelights, and full transom light. The eastern half of the façade consists of a recessed ell surrounded by a two-story colonnaded porch. |
