Show FHR-8-300 (11-78) United States Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service '•( National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form Continuation sheet_____________________Item number 7___________Page 1 The bay on the south wall has a single window on both floors of each of the three sections. Two decorative brackets with a vegetal infill intersect over the top of the side sections of the bay where the roof of the gabled top half story projects. The rear extension has no obvious remarkable features, having been obscured by the frame porches and by attached vegetation. An effort was made to visually join the extension with the rest of the house by using fishscale shingles on various sections. Detailing is simpler, the stone lintils and lugsills having been replaced by brick segmental relieving arches and wood lentils. There have been no major alterations which affect the original integrity of the exterior of the house as it is viewed from the road. The only change which can be detected solely with the aid of photographs is the removal of the stair railings. At the rear of the house, however, the original side porch has been converted to a two story sleeping porch with materials that clash with the original building. This change, however, is not irreparable and is only apparent from the rear of the house. There have been no major changes to the openings of the house that can be detected. The interior of the house originally had an entrance hall, a formal parlor, a family parlor and a dining room in the main part of the house. A kitchen and pantry were located in the rear extension. There were two stairways, one in the main entry area, and the other adjoining the kitchen. On the second floor there were four bedrooms and one large bath. All of the interior doors are wood and have a typical Victorian Eclectic decorative molding. The original molding around the windows is also intact as is an intricate heavy oak bannister of the entrance foyer. There are hard wood floors and elegantly carved hardware lifts on the window frames. The fireplaces in the dining room and parlor are brick with a pine and oak framework. Ionic columns of oak flank the green brick on the parlor fireplace, and support a classical mantle. Interior alterations include: the addition of a bathroom to the south end of the pantry area; the conversion of the rear of the second floor into an apartment in 1945; the remodeling of the kichen in 1968; and the addition of a fireplace to the front parlor. |
