104-0213-0211 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Other, pre 1853 The center core of this 2-story, 3-bay, frame I-house was constructed pre-1853 by local master builder Allen Hawkins. Originally a 1 1/2-story building with brick end chimneys, the house evolved into its current configuration around 1880 by William Dyer Wheeler. This expansion included the demolition of the original chimneys, the extension of the building seven feet to the east, an increase in the height of the house to a full two stories, construction of a gabled roof with central-front gable, and the addition of two exterior-end brick chimneys. The frame house is clad in weatherboard siding and features a standing-seam metal roof. Other details include a brick foundation, two exterior-end brick chimneys that pierce through the overhanging eaves, plain corner boards, a 4-light transom and single-light sidelights, and 2/2-sash wood windows with louvered wooden shutters (some of which are closed). The front 3-bay hip-roofed porch has chamfered-post supports on brick piers and sawn brackets. A 1-story frame wing extends to the rear and appears to have been constructed around the same time that the front portion was expanded ca. 1880. It features a gabled roof, interior brick chimney (originally exterior-end), and an enclosed side porch. It was enlarged around 1912 to its current configuration.
