104-5144-0102 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1950 Very similar to 724 Locust Avenue, this two-story, three-bay side-gabled, common bond brick dwelling was built in 1950 by John F. Marshall, Jr., a serviceman for Hundley Machines, and his wife, Joy Cerney Marshall. It is distinguished by a very steep roof and a central, cross-gabled bay that projects slightly and has a swooping, asymmetrical shape with bargeboard marking the entrance. The door is located in the center of this bay, is topped by a flat arch, and has a small four/four-sash window with a flat arch above in the peak of the gable. The other two 1st story bays have eight/eight-sash windows topped with flat arches, and are mirrored on the 2nd story by frame, gabled dormers with six/six-sash windows. An asymmetrically stepped, brick chimney emerges out of the roof of the central cross gable and is attached to the front of the house. Because of the slope of the lot, the building has a full basement to the rear. A one-story frame porch shelters an entrance in the north elevation and has a balcony above.
