American Movement, 1906 This well-preserved, frame, two-story, three-bay, cross-hipped-roof dwelling raised on a brick foundation was built in 1906 by L.B. Taylor, the same gentleman who constructed 501 Lexington next door. Its hipped-roof porch stretches across the entire facade as well as half of the south elevation and terminates against the hipped roof rear wing of the house, which is placed just south of the south elevation, creating a recessed portion to the facade. It is approached by four wooden steps flanked by wooden railings, and features a turned balustrade, turned posts with knobs, and small scroll brackets. Engaged turned post with knobs terminate the porch against the front of the building. The south bay of the east-facing facade includes a window, the central bay includes the front door, while the north bay features only one one/one-sash window. Each of the two bays on the 2nd floor features one two/two-sash window. All of the windows have louvered shutters. A hipped-roof dormer with three casement windows extends out of the center of the asphalt shingle-covered roof. The recessed wing has an additional entrance facing the street on the 1st floor and a single window on the 2nd floor.
