104-5144-0008 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1906 George B. Marshall built this two-story, three-bay, hipped-roof frame dwelling in 1906. In 1909, Marshall sold the house to W. B. Cloe, the bookkeeper for the Albemarle National Bank. The house has gabled bays that project slightly beyond the facade and the north elevation. A hipped-roof porch with turned posts, a turned balustrade, fan-like brackets and spools along the porch frieze occupies the northern portion of the facade; it terminates against the southern cross-gabled bay and wraps partly around the north elevation. The door is located where the facade meets the cross-gabled bay and is flanked to the north by a single two/two-sash window. A single two/two-sash window is placed symmetrically in the center of the northern portion of the facade. The projecting bay has a single two/one window on each floor. A brick chimney emerges at the point where the cross-gabled wing meets the hipped roof. The gable pediments are filled with fish scale shingles and casement windows. A series of two frame additions extend the rear of the house. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1 Individual Resource Status: Garage Contributing Total: 1
