104-5144-0074 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, ca 1894 This two-story, two-bay, stucco-finished dwelling has a hipped roof with flush off-center cross gables on the facade and south elevation and a central cross gable flush with the north elevation. T. M. Hill constructed this house between 1894 and 1900, five years before building the Hill-Holladay House at 864 Locust Avenue in 1895. Hill was a salesman. A hipped-roof porch approached via two series of steps and supported by battered Tuscan piers on wooden plinths shades the entire facade and wraps around part of the south elevation. The door is located in the north bay of the west-facing facade and has sidelights with beveled and stained glass and a transom. The door is glass and original to the house. The south bay of the 1st story and both bays of the 2nd story feature tall two/two-sash windows. A one-story stucco addition is flush with the north elevation and attached to a stucco-finished garage that opens onto Sycamore Street via a wooden pergola. The roof is metal and each of the gables is filled in with fish scale shingles and has a circular vignette in the center.
