104-5144-0026 Medical Business/Office, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1923 Railroad brakeman A. A. Gibson built this two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof, brick American Foursquare with a visible concrete foundation in 1923 after purchasing the lot from T.E. Hughes, who built the house next door. The two-bay, common bond facade has a porch that extends across the entire facade and is approached via four wooden steps, terminated at each end by a modern balustrade. A modern ramp with balustrade ascends from the southern end of the facade to meet the steps on the landing of the porch. Three brick columns support the porch and are connected by a brick balustrade with a cut out pattern, while two engaged columns terminate the porch against the building. The door is located in the north bay of the east-facing facade and features sidelights and an elliptical fanlight with tracery and a segmental brick arch. The south bay on the 1st floor features a pair of windows, while each of the bays on the facade's 2nd floor have only one window. All windows and the entrance feature simplified, segmental surrounds and segmental brick arches. A hipped-roof dormer with three casement sash windows is visible at the center of the facade and a concrete chimney is also visible. The brick is laid in common bond.
