104-0213-0010 Primary Resource Information: Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Vernacular Greek Revival, ca 1860 Currently under restoration, this house was constructed in 1860 and is a vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival style. The 2-story, 3-bay, hip-roofed frame I-house rests on a full brick basement laid in 7-course American bond. The walls are clad in weatherboard with a plain frieze and cornerboards, and the shallow-pitched roof is covered in standing-seam metal. The wood windows, including the ones in the basement level, vary in size based on their location and, although modern, have 6/6- double-hung sash. An exterior brick chimney is located at each end: the one on the north is original and has been partially parged, while the one on the south end has recently been rebuilt. Both chimney stacks pierce the eaves of the building. The original front of the house faces west and features 4-light sidelights around the 4-paneled front door. The 1-bay pedimented portico in front of the entrance is supported by Tuscan columns with plain pickets and a wooden stair. Above it on the second floor is a small 6-light window. The house was originally 1 1/2 stories in height. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
