Architectural details & original record
READ THE ARCHITECTURE
What sets this group apart.
LPC recorded three wood houses with simplified Queen Anne character, two stories over basements and gabled roofs. Their construction contrasts with the district’s brick and stone rows.
Paired windows
The report notes windows grouped in pairs.
Wood construction
A timber structure underlies the exterior; today’s cladding requires separate verification.
The report noted asbestos-shingle cladding in 1968; that description does not identify the materials present today.
