From the National Register nomination

104-5144-0067 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, ca 1895 In its massing, 513 Locust Avenue is very similar to its neighbor to the south, 509 Locust Avenue. It was built between 1895 and 1896 by Annie S. Lindsay, who also built 517 Locust Avenue next door. Lindsay built both houses on speculation, as she and her publisher husband lived on Wertland Street. A two-story, three-bay frame dwelling, the house has a hipped roof with a fully pedimented, semi-hexagonal, south bay on the east-facing facade; and a projecting, gabled wing on the north elevation. A hipped-roof porch abuts the facade's projecting bay and stretches across the facade and down the north elevation to meet the side wing with an additional entranceway. The porch is supported by turned posts with knobs across the facade and two additional slender, rectangular posts with a balustrade between on the north elevation. The entrance also abuts the projecting south bay and has two separate doors. It is flanked to the north by a small casement window. The semi-hexagonal bay has paired windows in its central section on both floors, with single windows on the side sections. The 2nd story has only a centrally-placed single window and the portion of the north wing that faces the street has a single window per floor. All of the windows are one/one-sash. The roof is covered in asphalt shingles and a chimney is visible. All of the gables have full pediments with paired casement windows. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
