Show 203 4th Avenue - 1909 Architect/Builder: Building Type/Style: Bungalow Building Materials: Description of physical appearance £ significant architectural features: (Include additions, alterations, ancillary structures, and landscaping if applicable) One of the best examples in the Avenues of the craftsman style Bungalow, this house is a large one-and-a-half story gable-roofed shingled structure with massive posts and bracketed trim. The handsome dormer on the front facade includes a full-width bracketed planter box on the front. The cobblestone foundation and porch column bases with the cobblestone walls on both sides of the dorner lot, are important elements in the design. The terracing of the lawn with railroad ties detracts from the original feeling of the site.
