104-5101 Other DHR Id #: 104-5144-0072 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Queen Anne, ca 1919 This 2 story, frame, gable ell Queen Anne house sits on brick piers and has a partially-wrapped front porch that covers the double leaf front entry. A two story projecting bay dominates the west elevation. The standing seam tin roof is pierced by three interior brick chimneys. The house appears to be covered in vinyl siding and the original windows appear to have been replaced with vinyl replacement windows. The plan of this 2.5 story, hipped-roof dwelling features a central entrance and stair hall, while two projecting, gabled wings emerge from the north elevation and the eastern side of the facade. A hipped-roof porch that abuts the projecting wing of the facade then wraps around the corner of the central mass before terminating against the north wing. Supported beneath by brick piers, the porch is elaborately decorated with a wooden balustrade; turned posts with knobs; cutout, fan-like brackets; and spools along the porch frieze. The entrance is located on the west-facing facade at the point where the facade wing meets the main mass and is approached at street level by two sets of concrete steps. The house retains its original carved, double wooden doors and transom and an original, stained-glass window occupies the north-facing wall. There is another door in the north wing facing westward onto the porch. All of the windows on the house are one/one-sash, though the windows on the facade's wing are in pairs. The two gabled ends have windows to light the third story. All of the windows on the 2nd floor have louvered shutters. The south elevation also features a semi-octagonal bay and a small, one-story addition is located on the northeast corner of the building. Brick chimneys emerge out of the roof of the south wing and at the point at which the central mass meets the east wing. The building date is ca. 1892, it is 2.5 stories, and the style is Late 19th and early 20th century American Movements. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
