Resurveyed 2015. 2015- "This two-story, brick American Foursquare house was constructed in 1922. It has a rectilinear footprint that is enlarged by a one story open porch over the entrance on the facade and a one story enclosed porch on its south elevation. The entry porch is centered on the elevation; it has a half hip roof suppmied by brackets and a pair of columns that rest on a brick knee wall. The enclosed porch has brick walls and low pitched half hip roof. The house itself has a hip roof with hip dormers on the facade and south slopes. Materials on the house include asphalt shingles sheathing the roof and red brick cladding the exterior walls and foundation. A brick square panel is present on the south knee wall of the enclosed porch; there is otherwise no brick ornamentation. The facade is divided into three fenestration bays. The center bay of the first story is occupied by the entrance porch; the flanking two bays have modern three part single-light windows, where the center light is larger than the outer two. The second story facade windows are one-over-one vinyl sashes. The center bay has a smaller window of this type, and the outer two bays have larger paired windows. Each dormer has a string offour single light casement windows. The enclosed porch has one large single light fixed window on spanning the width between the brick posts on each elevation." - "Washington Ave (STH 20), Roosevelt Ave to West Blvd", WISDot #2440-09-00, Prepared by Shelley Greene (2015). |
