104-5144-0042 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1913 John L. Lupton, the proprietor of the Union Station Cafe and assumed brother of W. N. Lupton, purchased a lot in 1911 from W. N. and built this house there in 1913. He then sold it in 1917 to William T. Payne, who promptly turned the house over, selling it to tailor William B. Watson and his wife in 1919. The two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof dwelling has central cross gables with boxed cornices and returns flush with the facade and north and south elevations. One low concrete step leads to the hipped-roof porch that stretches across most of the facade and is supported by three slender Tuscan columns and two engaged columns that terminate the porch against the front of the house. The porch has a turned balustrade and the door is located in the north bay of the west-facing facade and is topped by a transom. The other bay of the 1st story features a two/two-sash window, as do the two bays of the 2nd story. The central gable of each elevation has a small louvered window in its center. A brick chimney emerges towards the northern side of the metal roof at the rear of the building and a one-story frame addition is flush with the north elevation and raised on a visible rock-faced concrete block foundation due to the descending topography of the site.
