| Additional Information: | Wood exterior is pecky-cyrus. Second floor bedroom addtion was added in 1983. Built into a slight hill, this multi-story, Contemporary-style house rests on a stone-faced basement level, while the upper two stories are sheathed with what appears to be pecky cypress, which has been painted a creamy yellow color. The roofline is flat on both levels and features wide overhanging eaves that are underscored by flat, wooden, bracket-like elements. The West Cleveland Avenue facade features mostly narrow awning-style windows located near the upper edge of each floor; however, a large, mutiple-light window is located above the garage. The facade to the rear consists of wide expanses of glass, which provides for a view of the adjacent wooded area. The subject house was built by construction worker Tony Mazurco in 1954 at an approximate cost of $18,000. Mazurco worked for his father's company, John Mazurco & Sons and resided here with his wife Louann and family until at least 1988. In 1983, the Mazurcos added on a second-floor bedroom. The next known owner was Michael Switalski. |
