Section 7: Pa6e 2 <br /> <br /> front door, accented with dentil trim, features a large window in the <br /> top half. Narrow clapboards cover the exterior of the house. Corner <br /> boards neatly edge each corner of the house. <br /> The original wooden porch posts and rail were replaced with cast con- <br />crete posts and balustrade in the early.1910.'s,. At that time a concrete floor <br />was poured directly on top of the wooden floor. Restoration plans call for <br />the replication of the original round porch columns, square piers, and <br />delicate wooden balustrade. The floor will again be made of wood. <br />Although the 191O's concrete balustrade was dismantled and brought <br />with the house. It was determined that the original columns and <br />railing would be more in character with the design of the house and <br />provide the proper architectural balance. <br /> <br />West Facade: <br /> The single-storied porch continues around the corner to occupy the <br />front half of the west facade. An elaborate pediment decorates the <br />entrance above the steps to the west side of the porch. The two-story <br />slanted bay window is crowned with a balcony with turned balusters in <br />the balustrade. The single-storied rear porch also was topped with a <br />railing which borders the rectangular balcony. <br /> <br /> East Facade: <br />The east facade is quite similar to the west facade, except that the east <br />side features a large rectangular single-storied porch along the front half. <br />The two-story slanted bay window is divided at the juncture of the first <br />and second floors by the hipped roof of the porch. A wide beltcourse~ <br />topped with moldin~extends around the remainder of the east side. A <br />door in the southern-most side of the slanted bay leads from the porch <br />into the second parlour. A small inset balcony is located above the single- <br />'storied laundry wing. <br /> <br />North Facade: <br /> The view of the rear facade features a prominent gable above a <br />centered double-hung window on the second story and a pair of offset <br />double-hung windows on the first floor. <br /> <br />Setting: <br />The Maag House. pumphouse, and carriage house have been placed in <br />their original configuration)with the carriage yard between the pump- <br />house and the carriage house. Two groups of sago palms and a few other <br />significant plants were brought with the house from its former location on <br />Fairhaven Street. <br /> <br />239' <br /> <br /> <br />
