NOTES
Additional Information:ROCK-FACED CONCRETE BLOCK FOUNDATION WALLS.

"The one-and-one-half-story-tall house is the earlier of the two Bungalow style houses to be built in the Grove Street District. The Hansen house has an almost square plan, its foundation walls are made out of rick-faced concrete block, and its exterior walls are clad in clapboard, and are sheltered by a low pitched cross-gable roof having wide overhanging eaves. Window groups are centered in the gable ends on each elevation of the house. These and all the other windows in the house are original and feature vertical glazing bars, which are a Craftsman style characteristic. Fred W. Hansen was the leading tailor in Evansville for forty years, until his death in 1943." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
