Utah WordPerfect 5. 1 Format (Revlsed Feb. 1993) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. -Z- Page-2 Whitaker, Thomas and Elizabeth Mills, House, Centerville, Davis County, UT the existing gabled entrance porch. The height of this lintel indicates that the original entrance included a transom; the entrance now includes a leaded glass fan light surrounded by a gable overhang. An interior stone chimney is located on the north end wall. A chimney on the south end wall was removed, probably when the asphalt shingle roof was installed . BRICK ADDITION (c.1910) The fired brick portion of the structure might have been constructed in two parts. One addition extends to the north of the stone house and is approximately one-third the width of the stone house. It is also one-and-one-half stories with a ridgeline that is parallel to and approximately two feet lower than the roof of the original house. The west slope of the roof is the same pitch as the stone house, but the east slope is shallower and extends farther to the east. Double-hung wooden windows are located on the north wall. The most distinctive feature of this part of the building is the outline of a one-story sandstone arch on the west (front) wall. Physical evidence suggests that because this arch would have accommodated the width of one car and because the double gate within the wrought iron fence at the sidewalk is aligned with this arch, that it was probably originally a porte-cochere and/or garage. The side and rear walls are brick, the space below the arch has modern, horizontal windows, the same width as the arch, and below the windows the wall has been filled in with the same concrete block used for the garage. This indicates that after this space could have been used as an open porte-cochere, it was enclosed by brick walls, a room above was constructed, and the portecochere became a garage. It was entirely enclosed and became an additional room in the house when the two-car garage was built c.1960s. The space is now accessed by a door on the east wall or through a narrow hallway from the kitchen . .... The second part of the addition is on the northeast of the stone structure. Currently it accommodates the kitchen. This one-story addition contains two metal sliding windows, a later modification . Its roofline is lower and perpendicular to the stone house and it has a brick chimney with corbelling. FRAME ADDITION (c.1950) Wood framed additions with shed roofs are located behind the one-story brick addition at the northeast corner. One has wide clapboards and two one-over-one fixed windows. A small portion of the south wall of this room still exists and is seen from inside the concrete block garage. The second frame addition is the room on the easternmost side of the house and was a one-story sun porch. 2 It has vertical wood siding and a band of horizontal window openings covered with plastic sheeting extending the length of the north and east walls and an entrance door in the north end. Reportedly built by the Federicksons sometime prior to 1974 when the house was sold to the Wrights. Deseret News, Lakeside Edition, August 10, 1993. |
