No known code violations exist on record for this property. The LeRoy Quick House is architecturally significant as a highly intact and characteristic example of the Tudor Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1950 and valued at $23,000 according to the original building permit. It is just one of two homes in the Floral Park neighborhood that is constructed with fieldstone at its primary façade. The first owner of the subject property was LeRoy Quick who developed the property and owned and occupied it until at least 1979. Archival research did not uncover additional information regarding Mr. Quick or later occupants of the home. The LeRoy Quick House is a one-story, single-family residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival architectural style with partial stone construction. The subject property is made up of a long, narrow lot that contains the residence to the east and a detached garage to the west. The asymmetrical residential building has a T-shaped footprint. It features a steeply pitched, cross gable at the front of the building, a hip roof at the rear, and a chimney at the south. The roof is clad in composition shingles and has minimal overhanging eaves. The prominent front-facing gable over entrance is clad in stone, which extends along the entire façade of the building and to the side yard walls and driveway gate. Other cladding includes stucco, lapboard, and vertical siding along the building’s secondary facades. The main entrance is recessed into the building and consists of a single wood door with an overhead transom with diamond panes. A pair of multi-pane steel-frame casement and fixed windows flank the main entrance. The primary façade’s south architectural bay contains two steel-frame double casement windows with diamond lead panes and minimal stained glass. Additional building fenestration includes multi-pane steel-frame casement and fixed windows on the south, rear (west), and north elevations. The north side also includes glass block fenestration. A pedestrian door with a single fixed lite is set under a shed roof and is raised above two brick-clad steps with wood railings, at the building’s south elevation. A deeply recessed pedestrian wood door with a fixed, multi-pane lite is situated at the rear (west) elevation. The prominent stone chimney at the south elevation extends to the exterior foundation and is flanked by partial stone construction. A covered patio extends outward from the rear (west) façade. Other notable features include vents at gable ends, awnings, and wood shutters. The property is landscaped with a mature tree, a lawn, manicured low shrubs, and a curved walkway that leads from the driveway to the main entrance. A driveway parallels the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, which is setback behind a wood double gate. The garage contains a hipped roof clad in composition shingles and Historic Resources Commission 2 – 2 11/3/2022
