104-5144-0053 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1906 A frame, two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof dwelling built by boilermaker Charles E. Hagen in 1906, the particularly well-preserved 620 Lexington retains some of the most delicate vernacular Victorian details in the District. The building has central cross gables with boxed cornices and returns flush with and centered on each elevation and the facade. Four wooden steps with wooden banisters lead up to the porch on the northern end of the west-facing facade. The porch stretches the length of the facade and roughly half of the north elevation. The porch is supported by a series of slender turned posts with knobs, equally distributed across both elevations, with delicate cutout, fan-like brackets and a turned balustrade. The double door occupies the north bay of the facade and is topped by a transom with tracery; both the doors and the transom retain original stained glass. The south bay of the facade has a single one/one-sash window while each of the 2nd story bays also has a single one/one-sash window. All of the windows have louvered shutters. Each of the gables is filled in with fish scale shingles and a one-story, hipped-roof addition is attached to the rear of the house and extends beyond the north elevation. The house is partially covered in vinyl siding. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
