104-5144-0077 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1896 One of two houses built on this block in 1896 by O. T. Allegree and A. N. Adams, this two-story, two-bay, seven-course American bond brick, hipped-roofed building has a central cross gable flush with the east-facing facade and a projecting, gabled wing on the south elevation. A. N. Adams was in business with J. Payne Carroll in Walker-Carroll-Adams Hardware Co. and Allegree had a livery and feed stables business on Market Street. A shed-roofed porch stretches across the facade with freestanding and engaged Tuscan columns and continues around the south elevation before terminating against the south wing. The doorway is located in the facade's south bay and has sidelights and a multi-light transom; the north bay has a single window. Both have segmental surrounds and arches. The porch is topped by a cornice with dentils and block modillions. Each of the bays in the 2nd story has a single square, one/one-sash window topped with a jack arch. Each of the gables has a boxed cornice and return and a small casement window in the center, while a cornice that matches the porch with modillions and dentils stretches around the entire building. The roof is metal and the north elevation features a slightly projecting, semi-hexagonal bay. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
