104-5144-0126 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1925 Foreman R. W. Mitchell built this two-story, two-bay, brick American Foursquare laid in common bond in 1925. It has a hipped-roof porch that stretches across the entire 1st floor of the west-facing facade and is supported by freestanding and engaged Tuscan columns and a simple entablature and is approached by three concrete steps. The entrance is located in the north bay and leads to the doorway, complete with sidelights and a transom that has since been filled in. Both the south bay of the 1st floor and both of the bays of the 2nd floor feature pairs of three/one-sash windows. A prominent, hipped-roof dormer emerges out of the center of the asphalt shingle roof with a pair of small three/one-sash windows. A brick chimney is attached to the south elevation and a one-story addition extends the rear of the house.
