| Additional Information: | Front cross gable; stone triangular pediment shaped window heads with incised rosettes; open one-bay porch with turned posts; rear gable roofed extension with cross gable porch and incised linear design on window heads; frame addition at rear. The J. Federl House is a two-story, side gable residence built in 1886. It is clad in brick veneer and rests on a stone foundation. Metal covers the gable roof, which has a central brick chimney, wide frieze boards, and a central cross gable on the front (north) facade. A hip roof portico with square wood posts shelters the main entrance, centered on the front facade. A two-story wing extends on the rear (south) elevation, and a hip roof side porch is located on the west (side) elevation at the junction of the main block and rear wing. A c.1900, one-story, frame addition extends from the rear of the wing. Windows are one-over-one replacement sash with flat stone sills and peaked stone lintels ornamented with carved rosettes. A date stone that reads "1886- J. Federl" is located in the peak of the north cross gable. According to city directories, John Federl was a teamster and resided in the house from 1886 through his death in the early 1890s; his family remained in the house until c.1910. The property is a modest example of a vernacular form and has been altered with a replacement porch and windows. 2017 UPDATE - THIS BUILDING LOOKS SUBSTANTIALLY LIKE IT DID WHEN LAST SURVEYED IN 2015. |
