Additional Information: | This one story frame Bungalow features a rectangular shaped plan configuration, a concrete block foudation, a vinyl sided exterior, a wood trim and an asphalt shingled gable roof. Various Bungalow elements include a street facing open gable end and an off-center front porch. An attic is also part of the architectural design. The residence, which is in good condition, was owned by May A. Torpy in 1982. The John Melsch house was built in c. 1920. (See Bib. Ref. A). It is architecturally significant in that it represents a type, period, or method of construction. See the District Survey Form for a historical statement. |
