104-5144-0047 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1905 Carpenter W. A. Anderson built this house in 1905 after the double lot exchanged hands between Locust Grove Investment Company board members Jefferson M. Levy and Orville Nalle. The two-bay, two-story, side-gabled, frame house has two concrete steps that lead to the shed-roofed porch that stretches across most of the facade and is supported by four squared and chamfered columns symmetrically distributed. The doorway is located in the south bay of the west-facing facade and features a double-light transom. A single window occupies the other bay of the 1st floor, while both bays of the 2nd floor have a single window as well. All of the windows are six/six-sash and have louvered shutters. The roof is metal and a brick chimney emerges out of the back side. The roof flattens out and extends towards the rear and a one-story frame addition is flush with the north elevation.
