104-0213-0191 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Other, ca 1853 This 2-story, 3-bay, brick I-house with a central-front gable was constructed ca. 1850, although some of the architectural features suggest a post-Civil War construction date. It is considered as one of several dwellings in the area constructed by master builder, Allen Hawkins, whose own house was on 5th Street SW. The front of the gable-roofed dwelling is laid in Flemish-bond brick, while the rear and sides are laid in a 7-course American bond with Flemish bond. The house appears to have been repointed as the mortar joints are very prominent. The foundation is parged, the roof covered in standing-seam metal, and the house features modern 2/2-sash windows (paired in 2nd-story central bay), a 4-light transom and sidelight around the front door, overhanging eaves with a plain bracketed frieze, 2 interior-end brick chimneys, and gable-end returns. The 3-bay, Colonial Revival-style front porch has Tuscan columns and a concrete floor (ca. 1979). To the rear is a 1-story brick wing, laid in 8-course American bond with Flemish bond. This service wing has a mousetooth cornice, modern 2/2-sash windows, and a gabled metal roof. A modern 1-story, gable-roofed, stuccoed addition extends south of the rear wing.
