104-5144-0038 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1908 Very similar to its neighbor at 513 Lexington Avenue and also built in 1908, 517 Lexington was constructed by William B. Jarman, a clerk at Jarman's Book Store. The two-story, two-bay dwelling has a high profile hipped roof. The east-facing facade is approached on the southern end of the house by a set of seven wide, concrete steps flanked on the northern side by a simple, modern wooden banister. The steps lead to the porch that stretches the entire length of the facade. The porch has been screened in and now features a modern wooden balustrade and vertical supports. The door has a transom and the north bay has a two/two-sash window. A simple cornice with dentils tops the porch. Each of the bays on the 2nd story has single two/two-sash windows. While flush central cross gables mark the side elevations, the facade's projecting northern bay features a flush gable. All of the gables have boxed cornices and returns and casement windows in the center. Chimneys rise out of both the southern and northern sides of the asphalt shingle, hipped roof, while a modern, one-story, shed-roofed addition sits atop the rear of the building, its roof meeting the highest point of the original dwelling's roof.
