Additional Information: | July 2001-This one story, cream brick, Second Empire farmhouse was built c. 1875. The roof is clad with asphalt shingles and displays flat roofed dormers. The house exhibits 1/1, double hung sash in segmental-arched openings with brick lintels and stone sills. On the front (east) facing façade, a flight of concrete steps with wrought iron rails (not original) leads up to the centrally placed front door. A picture window (not original) appears south of the door. Statement of Significance: This farmhouse may have been erected for J. Hoxie, who owned the property in 1874 (at which time there was no house on site). The property was later owned by Mike Mahaney in 1889, C. Gurth in 1901, Herman Froelich in 1912, William Froelich from at least 1920 until c. 1924, and by Henry Zehren in 1953. This property was evaluated under Criterion C. Although it may have been a good example of a Second Empire house at one time, alterations have compromised its integrity. These alterations include concrete steps and wrought iron rails leading to the front door (a portico or porch must be missing), and the enlarging of an opening on the front facing façade to accommodate a picture window. Further, no historical significance has been found. A DOE is not recommended. |
