104-5144-0086 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, ca 1893 The Locust Grove Investment Company built this dwelling between 1893 and 1898 before selling it to teacher Welford H. Cooke. A two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof frame house with flush central cross gables on the facade and north elevation, this house has a two-story frame addition flush with the southern side of the facade. A hipped-roof porch stretches across the entire facade and at one point wrapped around most of the north elevation. This encircling portion of the porch has since been filled in, creating an extended portion of the northern side of the facade, and a one-story addition to the north elevation. The porch is supported by Tuscan columns and their pattern continues along with the roof's porch on the northern addition, the columns turning into pilasters where the porch has been enclosed. The door is in the north bay of the east-facing facade and has sidelights and a transom. Paired windows occupy the other bay of the 1st story, while both of the upper story bays have single windows. The 1st story north addition has a single window on the facade; all of the windows are two/two-sash. Each of the cross gables is filled in with fish scale shingles and has a boxed cornice and return. The roof is metal, a chimney is visible, and the addition to the south elevation is an open porch on the 1st story and has paired windows on the 2nd story.
