104-0213-0045 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Other, ca 1885 This 2-story, 2-bay, cross-gabled, frame vernacular dwelling with many Victorian details was constructed in 1885 by Jacob H. Nalls, a local building contractor. Clad in vinyl siding over the original German-lap siding, which is visible under the front porch, the house has a roof of standing seam metal. The house features a projecting front bay under the front porch and a projecting rectangular bay off the rear ell. Resting on a brick foundation, the house has interior brick chimneys with corbelled caps. The 2/2-sash vinyl windows are modern replacements. The 6-bay front porch, supported by turned posts, has segmental-arched bays that are formed by the double pierced two-stage frieze with Eastlake-style detailing. The bays of the porch around the bay window make a semi-octagonal projection around the bay window. A small second-story gabled pavilion that appears to be a later addition is set on the roof of the porch over the entrance bay. Other details include pressed tin shingles in the front pedimented gable end, a plain bracketed frieze, and a modern front door. The rear 2-story wing has enclosed side porches and a rear 1-story lean to. The house is now used as offices for Dogwood Housing Ltd., who purchased the property in 1980.
