104-0213-0162 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Other, ca 1855 This 2-story, 3-bay, brick I-house with a central-front gable is believed to have been constructed in the mid-1850s by Chiles M. Brand. The front brick walls are laid in a 7-course Flemish bond variant and the side and rear brick walls and foundation in 7-course American bond. A mild Victorian interpretation of a vernacular I-house, the dwelling features a gabled roof of standing-seam metal, deeply overhanging eaves, and two interior-end brick chimneys. The house rests on a split-level brick foundation and that is full height in the rear. A large 2-story, hip-roofed, rear brick wing laid in 7-course American bond was constructed in the early 1920s. The house features 1/1-sash windows, a transom over the front door, and a 4-light basement window on the south side. The 3-bay, hip-roofed front porch has Tuscan columns and a plain balustrade.
