| Additional Comments | This house contributes to the architectural significance of the proposed Jefferson Avenue Historic District as a 1940s Colonial Revival house built of poured concrete. During WWII, when this house was built, building materials were scarce. This simple house reflects the use of a material that was available at the time, and its simple side-gable form with little ornamentation suggests that building materials were scarce for the average home builder. |
