104-5144-0005 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.50, Style: Bungalow/Craftsman, 1924 One of the best examples of a Bungalow-Craftsman in the District, this 1.5-story building has a stucco finish and a low, side-gabled roof covered in asphalt shingles with brackets. Now used as office space, Charlottesville Lumber Company Secretary W. A. Barksdale built the house in 1924. A side-gabled wing that is attached to the east-facing facade and projects beyond the north elevation dominates the front of the house. The wing is an open porch on its southern side and has a deep overhanging eave. The northern end is enclosed with a series of three side-by-side paired casement windows on the eastern and northern sides with a single window and door on the southern side, opening onto the open porch. The entrance is roughly in the center of the open facade and is flanked to the north by a pair of nine/one-sash windows and to the south by a set of three nine/one-sash windows. A low, shed-roofed dormer with casement windows is in the center of the roof and a battered chimney is attached to the south elevation while another chimney emerges from roughly the center of the roof. A one-story addition extends the rear of the building, flush with the north elevation, while the back of the lot is occupied by a two-car garage with a side-gabled roof, shed dormer, and stone finish. A small frame shed is situated behind the stone-finished garage.
