104-5144-0029 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1925 Built in 1925 most likely on speculation by Eugene B. Lewis, a clerk for the Albemarle Motor Company, this two-story, three-bay, front-gabled house is finished with stucco. A hipped-roof porch stretches across the entire facade, is approached by two wooden steps flanked by simple metal handrails, and is supported by four symmetrically distributed, slender Tuscan columns joined by a simple wooden balustrade. The entrance is located in the center of the west-facing facade and is flanked by paired windows on its southern side and a single window to the north. The 2nd story features a set of paired double-hung windows below a small, louvered window in the center of the metal roof's gable. The roof projects slightly beyond the facade and well beyond the sides of the house with exposed rafter ends. The south elevation features a projecting bay with paired windows and a shed dormer above with a set of three windows. The north elevation has an additional 1st floor entrance, as well as an entrance to the basement. All of the windows on the house are four/one-sash. The rear of the house is only one story and has a separate front-gabled roof than that seen from the facade. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
