A demolition permit request was received for this building on 11/30/2011. According to the National Register nomination form, the address of this building is 2228-2230 N. 1st Street. Locally designated: 11/12/1985. Oldenberg & Frey were the builders. Excellent example of a large architect designed Colonial Revival style residence in nearly original condition. Note Palladian motif recessed gable window and large corner tower. The house is a large two and one half story frame structure with a coursed stone foundation. It is an asymmetrical composition incorporating a round corner tower, bay windows and a porch. The roof is comprised of two intersecting gables which are steeply pitched flared at the eaves. The gable on the west front elevation has recessed porch on the third floor; it is set behind a Palladian motif created by the three rectangular porch openings and the center round arch opening above, articulated by the shingle coursing. The house is sided with both horizontal siding and wood shingles -- the former used on the first floor and the shingles above. Another distinguishing element is the front porch; double and triple Ionic columns are set on wood sided piers (1982 photo 22-28). The building is significant architecturally as an outstanding example of turn of the century Queen Anne style residential design, incorporating transitional elements of the Shingle and Colonial Revival styles. The grouped porch columns and inset gable openings are significant features of the design. The house was designed by architects Marshall & Ryder, and constructed in 1896 by Oldenberg & Frey for a cost of $4000. It was built as two flats for Otto Frey, a tailor. He lived in the house until 1901; next it was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Marting. The building was converted to a rooming house in 1936. |
