104-5144-0063 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.50, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1949 This one-story, three-bay brick ranch house has an asphalt shingle-covered, side-gabled roof with a prominent, high pitched cross-gabled central bay that projects slightly beyond the west-facing facade to mark the entrance of the building. Each of the side bays has a single two-pane, square casement window topped with a flat arch. The central, gabled bay is approached by four concrete steps leading to a small landing. The door is in the center and topped by a Colonial Revival-style lintel. Small casement windows flank either side of the door and are also topped with flat arches. A small porch and brick chimney are attached to the north elevation. The brick is laid in common bond. Herman Barrett Chapman, a conductor working for the C&O Railroad, built the house in 1949. After he died in 1997, his wife Evelyn sold the house to Martha Jefferson Hospital with a life trust.
