104-5144-0037 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1911 Also built by W. N. Lupton in 1911, this two-story, two-bay, frame dwelling was occupied by Lupton and his family, until a widowed Cora Lupton sold the house in 1950. The dwelling has an exposed, rock-faced concrete block foundation and a hipped-roof with a flush off-center cross gable on the northern side of the west-facing facade and a gabled wing projecting from the north elevation. Both gables have boxed cornices and returns and casement windows in the center of the gable. Five concrete steps lead up to the hipped-roof porch that stretches across the facade and around the north elevation to terminate against the gabled wing. Symmetrically distributed, freestanding and engaged Tuscan columns support the porch with a balustrade that runs along the perimeter. While the porch steps are located in the center of the facade, the simple door is slightly off-center in the north bay of the facade, and is flanked by a casement window to the north and a large picture window with a stained-glass frieze in the south bay. Another door is located at the point where the porch terminates against the north wing. The north bay of the 2nd story has a single one/one-sash window, while the south bay has a pair. Both the main hipped roof and the porch roof are covered in asphalt shingle. A brick chimney emerges out of the rear of the hipped roof on the building's southern side. A semi-hexagonal bay projects out of the center of the south elevation's 1st floor, while a two-story rear addition is flush with the south elevation.
