104-5144-0056 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.00, Style: Other, 1953 Typical of its period within the District, this one-story, three-bay, side-gabled small brick ranch house was built in 1953 by Glover W. Forloines, superintendent of Charlottesville Lumber. Forloines built the house on speculation, as he sold it the same year it was constructed to widow Myrtle Watts Haggerty. The brick is laid in common bond, the dwelling has a single one/one-sash window on the north bay of the west-facing facade, a door with an aluminum awning in the central bay, and a three-part bay window in the south bay. The roofline has a very slight cornice with dentils and the side-gabled roof is covered in asphalt shingles. A brick chimney emerges out of roughly the center of the house, while an additional entrance marks the north elevation. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
