104-5144-0097 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1917 John A. Smith, a partner in Burnley, Smith and Burnley with W. R. Burnley, built his house in 1917. The two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof, stucco-finished dwelling has central cross gables with boxed cornices and returns flush with both the facade and all three of the other elevations. A hipped-roof porch encompasses the entire facade and wraps around the north elevation. The porch is supported by very simple Tuscan columns and balustrade, and is approached by stairways on both the facade and the north elevation. The main entrance is located in the north bay of the east-facing facade, while the south bay has a set of three windows and both of the upper bays of the facade have single one/one-sash replacement windows. A two-story addition and attached screened-in porch are located at the rear of the building, flush with the north elevation and much lower than the main mass of the house because of the slope downward. Each of the gables feature boxed cornices and returns and small vignettes. Two concrete block chimneys are visible and the house has a full basement, due to the slope of the rear of the site.
