DESCRIPTIONBACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE: <br />The architectural style terminology is adapted from the National Register Bulletin 16A. <br />The Victorian Italianate style was one of the Late Victorian styles that flourished between 1860 —1890. The style emphasizes the <br />vertical lines in volumes and elongated doors and windows. Wide overhanging eaves often with decorative brackets and hipped roofs, <br />usually cap these buildings. Other significant features include balustrade balconies, comer quoins and rectangular windows with hood <br />mouldings. <br />The Craftsman Bungalow architectural style is an early 20s' century American movement, developed by Charles and Henry Greene of <br />Pasadena, California. The height of the movement is between 1900 and 1920's. The Craftsman Bungalow is characterized by the use <br />of natural wood for exposed massive beams and rafters and exterior siding. Some of the most prominent features are: low pitched <br />gabled roof with wide overhangs and projecting brackets; the emphasis on horizontal shapes informally arranged; the use of shingles <br />as exterior finish; broad, gabled entry porches; no applied ornament; creek rock foundations and porches. Many house include <br />Japanese and Swiss influences in their exterior detailing. <br />Year Built: <br />Add sleeping porch: <br />Alterations: <br />Alterations: <br />Reroo£ <br />(Construction data, alterations, and date of alterations) <br />1887 <br />January 18, 1919 <br />September 1921-1925 <br />August 1,1951 <br />February 29, 1988 <br />RELATED FEATURES: (Other important features such as barns, sheds, fences, prominent or unusual trees, or landscape) <br />Original garage, located at rear <br />(Describe resource and its major elements.

At that time, the roof was raised, adding more rooms on the second floor and the porch was redesigned. The ell -shaped <br />gabled roof, accented with single exposed beam ends, rafter tails, and louvered vents, features a prominent front bay on the east side. <br />Casement windows with muntins in the top third are used throughout the second story. A railing of plain balusters, placed between <br />square piers, borders the flat roof of the single -storied porch. Square wood posts, resting on paneled piers, support the 1925 front <br />porch. From the Victorian era are the cut corners, tear drops, paired double hung windows with hood mouldings, and wide shiplap <br />siding trimmed with corner boards. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />LLWROcategory Titchenel-calland <br />5.12-00 <br />
