104-5144-0045 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, ca 1893 The Locust Grove Investment Company built this two-story, two-bay, stucco-finished, hipped-roof dwelling on speculation between 1893 and 1897 and sold it to widowed Sarah E. Eastham in 1897. The house features a hipped-roof porch that encircles the east-facing facade and most of the southern elevation before it terminates against a portion of the rear of the house that projects beyond the main mass. The porch is approached via only a single low step and is supported by symmetrically distributed slender turned posts with knobs and fan-like brackets, with a simplified turned balustrade. The double, stained-glass doors are located in the north bay of the 1st floor and are topped by a transom. A two/two-sash window occupies the other 1st floor bay, while each of the two 2nd story bays also have single two/two-sash windows. The building's cornice features exposed brackets below the projecting tin roof. A small sunroom currently under renovation abuts the western corner of the north elevation. Because of a grade change, the porch is supported on brick piers on the south elevation.
