| Additional Information: | This building is a gabled ell house with a cheese factory addition. The two-story gabled ell house was constructed in two sections. In the 1920s, Alan Stemper moved the gable section and attached it to the ell. The original cheese factory was replaced around 1955 with a modern, concrete block addition. The house has an intersecting gable roof covered with standing seam metal. The walls of the gable section are covered with asbestos siding, while the ell section is covered with vertical wood siding. Some medium-sized single-light sashes punctuate the walls of both sections in an irregular manner. A long, enclosed ell porch is located on the west (main) elevation; it has a hip roof and wood paneled siding. A modern wood deck projects from the south elevation. The factory addition is a one-story flat roofed building constructed of concrete blocks. The walls are punctuated with large, multi-light factory-style windows. The west elevation is connected to the east elevation of the house. Alan Stemper started the cheese factory in the 1920s. Stemper's brother, Leroy, took over the business in the 1940s and ran it until 1968. Leroy Stemper replaced the original cheese factory with the concrete block addition. |
