104-5144-0024 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1924 Built in 1924 by the secretary of Wood, Vest & Co., John W. Witt, this two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof, brick American Foursquare is very similar to the three houses that march northwards up Lexington Avenue, adjoining this dwelling. The brick is laid out in six-course American bond and has an exposed concrete foundation. The two-bay facade is approached via three low concrete steps, terminated at each end by concrete parapets that are level with the porch and are bisected by a modern, metal handrail. Three Tuscan columns support the hipped-roof porch that stretches across the entire facade, while two engaged columns terminate the frame porch against the building. The porch has a simple wooden balustrade and entablature. The door is located in the north bay of the east-facing facade and features sidelights and a three-part transom. A three-part window compliments the door, while the one/one-sash windows on 2nd-story bays are coupled. All windows and the entrance feature simplified, segmental surrounds and are topped with segmental arches. The metal roof projects slightly and has a very simple cornice. A small shed-roofed dormer with two casement windows peeks out at the center of the facade, while an engaged, brick chimney is located at the center of the south elevation. A small, one-story brick addition extends the rear of the building, flush with the north elevation. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
