| Additional Information: | Porch is post 1903. The window treatment on this Italianate house is particularly fine. The building is sheathed in clapboards up to the head of the second story windows; above that a band of vertical boards, terminating in cusps, continue around the house. This is one of the most creative Italianate designs in terms of details, however, a more modern porch addition detracts from the design to some extent. R.J. Weisbrod was originally a furniture dealer and undertaker. In the 1880s he became the chief of police. According to city directories the Weisbrod residence was located at this address prior to 1876, but after 1868. Building was possibly designed by William Waters. |
