| Additional Information: | From "Appleton's Historic Old Third Ward Walking Tour" pamphlet, revised 2014 (www.focol.org/oldthirdward): "Mirroring a national trend, several "Ornamental Concrete Block" houses were built in the Old Third Ward for families of average means. With depletion of natural resources, builders turned to manmade materials. No longer experiments, the advent of "portland" cements made concrete blocks a strong, inexpensive alternative to brick or stone. Because blocks could be made at the work site, many different styles were possible. Architects were not as excited, however, and most likely the builder copied a manufacturer's catalogue of the house around the corner." Garage. |
