104-5144-0040 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1916 Almost identical to 516 Lexington Avenue next door, this two-story, two-bay, frame dwelling was also built on speculation by W. N. Lupton in 1916. Lupton sold it in 1920 to engineer Aaron Heflebower. It has a hipped roof with a cross gable flush with the northern bay of the west-facing facade and a gabled wing that projects off of the north elevation. Six wooden steps with a wooden balustrade lead up to the hipped-roof porch that stretches across the facade and around the north elevation to terminate against the projecting wing. The porch is supported by symmetrically distributed Tuscan columns, has a balustrade running along its perimeter, and is topped by a simple cornice. While the porch steps are located in the center of the facade, the simple door is slightly off-center on the northern end of the facade, and is flanked by a casement window to the north and a large picture window to the south, both retaining original stained glass. 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. A small casement window is located in the center of the gable with boxed cornice and return. A brick chimney emerges out of the rear of the asphalt shingle-covered roof on the building's southern side. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
