857 Locust Ave

From the National Register nomination

While this two-story, five-bay house looks small from the street, the grade of the rear of the lot allows for a full lower story. Helen L. Haden constructed it in 1938 and she continued to live in the house until 1999. The house is side-gabled and constructed of multi-colored bricks laid in common bond. The facade has a porch with graceful segmental arches springing from four freestanding and two engaged Tuscan columns and topped by a balcony with chinoise railing above. It shades the central three bays of the facade, each of which features a six/six-sash window topped by a jack arch. The door is located in the central bay with a narrow transom and jack arch. The roof has three gabled, frame dormers. A chimney emerges out of each end of the asphalt shingle-covered roof and the house has a one-story addition to the rear. A finely crafted stone retaining wall runs along the driveway and attaches to the south elevation.
