| Additional Information: | Leaded glass windows; inset open rear porch; window cornices; shingles and cornice returns in gambrel ends; open inset front porch with pedimented gable roof entrance portico supported by Tuscan columns; balustrade. This was the home of Henry Neumann, a cigarmaker, between 1902 and at least 1934. Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this house are historically significant. This frame house is important as an example of the cross gabled vernacular house form influenced by the Dutch Colonial Revival. One of three good exmaples of the cross gabled house characterized by the Dutch influnced gambrel roof, this vernacular house exhibits exceptional integrity. Other good examples of vernacular houses influenced by the Dutch mode of the Colonial Revival are the houses at 806 No. 4th (28-24), 1300 So. Third and 806 No. 4th (28-24). |
