874 Locust Ave

From the National Register nomination

One of the first houses built in the wave of construction on the north end of Locust Avenue where it meets Long Street, this two-story, two-bay, hipped-roof, common-bond brick American Foursquare was built in 1925 by J. E. Mooney, a boilermaker, and sold the same year. It has a shed-roofed porch that stretches across the entire 1st floor of the facade, is approached by four concrete steps with a metal handrail down the center, and is supported by three battered Tuscan piers on brick plinths. A solid brick balustrade connects the piers. The entrance is located in the north bay of the west-facing facade and includes a doorway with sidelights and an elliptical fanlight with tracery. The south bay of the 1st floor features paired one/one-sash windows with a segmental surround and topped by a jack arch. The porch has an undecorated, prominent entablature. The two bays of the 2nd story feature paired one/one-sash windows. The roofs of both the house itself and porch are of metal and a large, frame, hipped-roof dormer with three four/one-sash windows is located in the center of the main roof. A chimney is visible towards the south elevation and a small, one-story, hipped-roof addition with a large three-part bay window is attached to the south elevation, towards the rear of the building. An additional frame porch is attached to the rear of the house, flush with the north elevation.
