104-5144-0036 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1908 Mechanist John C. Young built this stucco-finished dwelling with a two-story, two-bay dwelling with a high-profile, hipped roof in 1908. The east-facing facade is approached on the southern end of the house by a set of seven wide, wooden steps. The steps lead to the full-width porch; is supported by three symmetrically distributed, slender Doric columns and terminated on the facade with two engaged columns; and has a simple wooden balustrade. The porch is topped by a simple cornice with dentils. The door has a transom that been filled in and a very large, single-pane, modern bay window on the slightly projecting northern bay. Each of the bays on the 2nd story have two/two-sash replacement windows. While a central, flush, cross gable marks the each of the other elevations, the facade's slightly projecting northern bay features a flush off-center gable with a boxed cornice and return. A chimney rises out of the northern side of the asphalt shingle-covered roof, while a one-story, end-gabled addition abuts the back of the building on the southern side.
