104-5144-0046 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals, 1938 This two-story, three-bay Georgian Revival house is finished in stucco and has a side-gabled roof covered in asphalt shingles. Married stenographer and notary Mary Stella Robertson built the house in 1937. The dwelling is approached by two slate steps that lead to the centrally located entrance, squeezed in between the two larger side bays. The house retains its original door, which has vertical glass panels with tracery on its upper portion and solid, carved panels on the lower section. The door is flanked by full-length louvered shutters and sheltered by a delicate portico, complete with slender Tuscan columns, a decorated cornice, and a projecting pediment with dentils. The entranceway is abutted to either side by six/one-sash windows, each with a single, louvered shutter flanking its outside edge. The two bays of the upper story each have a single, shuttered, six/one-sash window that abuts the decorated cornice above. The south elevation has a one-story addition flush with the facade and features a single fanlight on each of its three sides. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
