104-5144-0094 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1899 Dubbed the Eddins-Fishburne House because of its original owners, this two-story, brick dwelling has a hipped roof and a projecting gabled bay towards the center of the west-facing facade and a rectangular brick tower with a hipped roof and wooden upper section on the southernmost corner of the facade. Bessie S. Eddins built the house in 1899, before it eventually was sold to the lawyer John Fishburne and his wife, Mary L. Fishburne, in 1905. The brick is laid in common bond. A shed-roof porch covers most of the facade in two sections: one is attached to the projecting bay and shelters the door with its thermal transom set in the nook created by the projecting bay, while the other section encompasses the recessed, northern portion of the facade. Both sections are supported on carved, square, Tuscan columns. The main, recessed portion of the facade has two bays. While the door is located in the south bay, each of the other three bays has a single one/one-sash window with a jack arch. The projecting bay has coupled, one/one-sash windows on the 1st and 2nd floors and a full pediment filled in with bricks with a louvered window and segmental arch above. The tower has a single, narrow, one/one-sash window facing the street on each floor. Each side of the upper portion of the tower has a louvered window and two brick chimneys emerge out of the metal roof.
