104-5144-0028 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Bungalow/Craftsman, 1924 When machine operator George A. Fitch built his house in 1924, he chose not to follow the pattern being set by the other houses in Colgan's subdivision. This two-story, two-bay, stucco-finished Craftsman-Bungalow-style dwelling has a side-gabled roof that faces the side street. The asphalt shingle-covered roof flattens and extends out past the facade, creating a porch that stretches across the entire front of the house, is approached by two wooden steps bisected by a simple wooden balustrade, and is surrounded by a solid, stuccoed balustrade. Three simplified, stucco-finished columns support the porch, two framing the entrance located in the south bay of the east-facing facade. The door has sidelights and an elliptical fanlight with tracery. Paired windows are located on the north side of the facade. A prominent front-gabled dormer with exposed rafter ends located in the center of the roof lights the 2nd story with two full-size, three/one-sash windows. The brick chimney emerges out of the roof directly behind the dormer. The gabled roof extends beyond the north and south elevations and also has exposed rafter ends and brackets. A small wooden porch extends beyond the rear of the house and is also sheltered by the extension of the main roof's gable. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
