Alterations to residence. <br /> <br />RELATED FEATURES: (Other important features such as barns, sheds, fences, prominent or unusual trees, or landscape) <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and <br />boundaries.) <br /> <br />This transitional house displays the massing and roof configuration of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) combined with detailing <br />culled from the vocabularies of the Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles. A hipped roof crowns the one-story building, with a front <br />gable topping the north half of the fayade and a bellcast extension of the hip covering the porch, which wraps the southeast corner of <br />the building. Another gable is located on the south elevation. Roof treatment includes exposed rafters with shaped tails in the eaves, <br />decoratively sawn bargeboards, and braces in the gable ends. Narrow lap siding sheathes the house, with shingles used for the gable <br />faces. The rounded porch is enclosed by a solid porch wall, and the porch roof is supported by Tuscan columns. In typical Victorian <br />era fashion, two entries open onto the porch, the main entrance on the fayade and a secondary doorway on the south. North of the <br />porch, a large, tripartite window is banded by a transom window distinguished by an "X" pattern of muntins. The house is elevated a <br />few steps above street level on an art stone foundation. It is substantially unaltered on the exterior. <br /> <br />HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: <br /> <br />This house was constructed circa 1905, based on stylistic evidence. George and Cornelia Shriver were the first known residents <br />(1910). In the 1910s, Sarah and Harry Masters, ranchers, and their daughter, Washington School teacher Loretta Masters, lived at this <br />address. From the late 1910s until the 1940s, Mrs. Lottie Abbott, a widow, occupied the house (Treasures). <br /> <br />RESOURCE ATTRIBUTES: (List attributes and codes from Appendix 4 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office <br />of Historic Preservation.) <br /> <br />HP2.
