104-0213-0201 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 1.50, Style: Other, ca 1870 This currently abandoned 1 1/2-story, 2-bay, frame dwelling was constructed in at least three sections. The modest house originally began as a 1-bay, 1 1/2-story unit made up of the northern most part of the current dwelling. This would have included the current interior brick flue located within the steeply-pitched gabled roof. The front of the house was enlarged to its current configuration of two bays and then extended to the rear with a 1-story gable end wing and a side shed-roofed lean-to. The original weatherboard siding is visible beneath the current T-111 siding and the roof is now clad in asphalt shingles. None of the windows appear original and include jalousie windows with missing glass in the 1/2-story, boarded windows on the front and also on the rear wings, and modern 1/1 and 4/4-sash on the side elevation. Few details are evident as the house has been mothballed. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
