1985 revision
Matt Cohen , surveyor
Description : Dominated by a full recessed porch , this 1z story ,
3x2 bay , clapboard , gable front Bungalow appears to step out onto
the sidewalk . It is the only contributing house on this side of
the block. Supporting the overhanging , shingled main block gable ,
which forms the porch roof , are two square Tuscan columns at the ends ,
echoed by similar pilasters on the wall behind them. A clapboard
porch apron spans the front , but is open at the sides . The door ,
off- center to the right , has small -square and narrow vertical
lights , and is flanked by two original ; large rectangular windows .
Eave side windows are irregular , and include one paired Ixl sash
window in the north side . There is a small gable window . Eave
ornament consists of exposed rafter tails and truss brackets .
The house has a concrete foundation and a brick ridge chimney .
On the south eave side is a non-original , c . 1925 , 1-bay , false
fronted , novelty sided garage with an original , overhead sliding
door.
Significance : Very similar to 215 S . 5th Ave . directly across the
street , this simple Bungalow may be the work of the same builder .
The original owner may have been Mrs . M . R . Lillard .
