104-5144-0002 Office, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1925 After purchasing the lot from R. W. Wilbourn in 1923, John E. Wilkins constructed this house in 1925. Wilkins was a fireman who later worked as a locomotive engineer. This two-story American Foursquare has a hipped roof and an exposed concrete foundation and is brick laid in seven-course American bond. A hipped-roof porch supported on heavy Tuscan columns stretches across the front of the south-facing facade, shades the three-bay 1st floor, and is approached from the street by two sets of stairs due to the sharp incline of the site. The door is in the central bay with sidelights and a single-light transom. Both of the side bays of the 1st story and the two bays of the 2nd story have single six/six-sash windows. The roof is covered in asphalt shingles, has a hipped-roof dormer with two small, three/one-sash windows positioned in the center of the facade, and a brick chimney emerges from the roof's eastern side.
