104-5144-0085 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1900 Still retaining its excellent Late Victorian Vernacular details in the present day, this two-story, three-bay, side-gabled, frame dwelling was constructed in 1900 by Charles H. Ergenbright. Ergenbright was a salesman and sold the house in 1899. It exchanged hands once more before Elijah Dunn, an aged city magistrate, bought the house in 1907 as a house for himself and his unmarried, adult children. The building is L-shaped, with a one-bay gabled wing that projects beyond the facade on the southern side of the main mass. The recessed, two-bayed northern portion of the west-facing facade is covered by a hipped-roof porch on the 1st floor that is approached by a series of wooden steps, and supported by freestanding and engaged turned posts with knobs and a turned balustrade. The posts also have fan-like brackets. The porch abuts the projecting south wing, as do the double leaf entrance of the entrance with the two-light transom overhead. The north bay of the northern portion's 1st floor and both of the bays of the 2nd story have single two/two-sash windows. The one-bay southern wing features a projecting, semi-hexagonal bay window on the 1st floor, with single, slender windows on each of its sides and a paired set in the central section; all windows are one/one-sash. The bay window unit is topped by an entablature with brackets, while the 2nd story is occupied by a pair of slender one/one-sash windows. A small casement window occupies the center of the gable. The roof has exposed rafter ends and is covered by asphalt shingles. Two brick chimneys are visible. A two-story frame addition with a modern screened-in porch on the 1st floor is flush with the south elevation.
