From the National Register nomination

104-5144-0044 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1949 Currently undergoing cosmetic renovations that include the removal and replacement of all siding, windows, and doors as well as a complete interior remodeling, this two-story, three-bay, frame house was built in 1949 by widow Christine Haney. Haney worked for a local mill and lived here until her death in 1980. The house has a side-gabled roof, exposed cinderblock foundation, and the central bay of the projects beyond the east-facing facade and has a high-pitched cross gable. The front door has been replaced with a glass door and french doors have been installed on either side of the entrance pavilion. Two gabled dormers emerge above the two side bays while a brick chimney is attached to the eastern side of the south elevation. A small porch with four concrete steps is attached to the house on its south elevation, and features another entrance to the house. The wood siding has been replaced with synthetic-vinyl and the roof is covered with asphalt shingles. A deck has been added to the front facade, and allows for access to the doors in the south bay and the central entrance. Due to the renovations and remodeling, this is no longer contributing to the district. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Non-Contributing Total: 1
