NOTES

The Paul and Julia Stark House is one of the oldest and largest examples of the style in Nakoma. The two-story, stuccoed house has a side-gabled roof, punctuated by hipped dormers. Pairs of pilasters flank sidelights on either side of the central entry. Over the door, large consoles support a canopy, crowned by a wrought-iron balconet. One-story wings, extending from each side of the main facade, include a sun room, whose pergola-like roof and elephantine columns suggest Craftsman design. Exposed rafter tails along the roof visually tie this wing of the house to the two-car garage on the other side.
