American Movement, 1922 This two-story, three-bay, hipped-roof, stucco-finished American Foursquare has a hipped-roof porch on four freestanding and two engaged Tuscan columns. Auto painter and mechanic George W. Smith purchased the lot from W. N. and Cora Lupton in 1921 and built this house in 1922. The entablature is simple and the approach is centered on the porch both via three concrete steps and a makeshift wooden ramp. The door is located in the center of the facade and all of the south and north bays of the west-facing facade have one/one-sash windows. There are only two bays on the 2nd story. A hipped-roof dormer with three square casement windows is positioned in the center of the metal roof. A chimney is visible towards the south elevation, where multiple windows have air-conditioning units. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
