Roofscape: <br /> <br />The varied roofscape, which includes the graceful bellcast hipped <br />roof, prominent cornice with enclosed eaves, matching hipped <br />dormers on the South, North and East sides, pedimented gables on <br />the east (front) facade and the north side facade, carved <br />brackets, and a molding-trimmed frieze, seems to form a crown on <br />the top of the house. The dormers feature mullioned-patterned <br />centered windows with vertical louvered panels on each side. The <br />pediments have closed eaves, are clad in wooden shingles, and <br />have mullioned-patterned windows in the center. A square brick <br />chimney is visible near the apex of the hipped roof. <br /> <br />Second Story: <br /> <br />Three square bays, located on the second story, are placed below <br />each pedimented gable. Two contain matching double-hung windows, <br />edged in a mullioned pattern, while the one on the south side <br />contains a smaller single window. The mullioned border-style <br />window, often seen in Craftsman and California Bungalows built <br />between 1915 and 1922, was very new when it was used in this <br />house in 1911. It is used throughout the east, north, and south <br />elevations of the second story, including the eye-catching triple <br />bay and the decoractive window in the front facade. Plain <br />double-hung windows are used in the rear facade, probably <br />indicating the substantial added expense of the mullion-bordered <br />windows. A square brick chimney and an open balcony, bordered <br />with a solid lapped-board-sided railing, also grace the rear <br />facade. <br /> <br />4 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
