104-5144-0100 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Bungalow/Craftsman, 1928 This two-story, three-bay, side-gabled Bungalow-Craftsman is almost entirely hidden from sight on Locust Avenue due to a large wooden privacy fence. Anna E. Roberts built the house in 1928. The painted, common bond brick house has a symmetrical facade with single windows occupying both the north and south bays and a single door in the center. A large, front-gabled porch shelters the doorway and two windows and has battered wooden piers supported on brick plinths, stucco fill on the pediment, and a prominent overhanging eave. A brick chimney is attached to the south elevation, emerges out of the asphalt shingle roof, and is flanked to the west by a small, gabled-roof portico that shelters an additional entranceway. Due to the way the lot slopes downhill to the west, the house has a full two-story rear elevation, while only a single story is visible at the facade. The rear of the building is a two-story porch that has been altered to make additional enclosed living space and a one-story, frame, shed-roofed addition is located on the northern side of the rear of the house.
