It is surrounded by a mixture of historic and out-of-period houses; the Eddington house falls into about the middle of the age range of buildings in the neighborhood. Built c.1932, the Eddington house is a 1-1/2 story, period cottage constructed of red, striated brick walls laid in a common-bond pattern, on a concrete foundation. Stylistically, it is a mix of Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival. The house's most prominent feature is its steeply pitched central projecting cross gable. The house's main entrance is through a Federal style, wood door surround, topped with a broken segmental pediment. Above the entry, centered inside the gable, is a narrow, six-paned, wood casement window. The remaining windows throughout the house are made up of similar paned windows (though slightly larger) that are either paired or placed four together to compose a larger window unit. The central gable and two flanking wall dormers are topped with steeply pitched gable roofs. The tops of each dormer gable are sheathed with aluminum siding, which appears to have replaced similar wood siding. The north and south gable ends of the house are similarly sided; the most prominent features of these two facades are two exterior end chimneys. These are connected to working fireplaces in the first floor living/dining rooms and office/study. A shed addition (part of the original house) projects from the rear (west facade) of the house. The interior of the house remains much the same as it was when it was constructed. The only substantial modification to the building appears to be an enlarged garage on the north side which does not diminish the integrity of the house. The garage is constructed of matching brick, but the garage door appears to have been enlarged, and the roof pitch increased. These changes probably occurred at the same time, though the date of the changes is unknown. Other than this attached garage, there are no other outbuildings on the site. See continuation sheet |
