American Movement, ca 1901 Named after its original owners, this house was built in 1901 by Sextus A. Eddins. The one-story, three-bay, brick house has a hipped-roof with a porch that has a wide, hipped roof stretching across the entire facade and portions of the north and south elevations, before terminating against the stepped and side-gabled extension of both side elevations. Two low concrete steps approach the porch and has square Tuscan posts with chamfered edges. The door is located off-center in the central bay with a transom above and segmental surround, while each of the other two bays of the 1st floor has a single window. The south bay is oversized and projects slightly beyond the main body of the facade. Other entranceways with segmental surrounds and transoms face westward onto the porch in the north and south extensions. A low-pitched cross gable tops the south bay of the facade with its own single window and an undecorated bargeboard. A gabled dormer peeks out of the roof above the front door with a finial in the center of the gable, while another faces westward on the roof of the north extension; each of the windows are one/one-sash. The main roof is covered in asphalt shingles, while the porch roof covered in metal. A one-story brick extension is attached to the rear of the house and is flush with the north elevation and extends beyond the south elevation. The brick is laid in common bond.
