104-5144-0034 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1908 Another singular example within the District, fireman RJ Eastham built this one-story, two-bay, hipped-roof dwelling in 1908. Five wooden steps lead up to the southern end of the porch that shades the entire length of the east-facing facade. Three slender Tuscan columns, two engaged columns, a simple wooden balustrade, and a cornice with dentils support the porch. The door has a simple architrave and is topped by a transom, while the slightly projecting northern bay has a single two/two-sash and shuttered window and is topped by a fully pedimented cross gable and a small casement window. The centers of the north and south elevations feature identical gables, while the dwelling's chimney rises beyond the front gable. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
