Description

This two-story home reflects early Craftsman stylistic tendencies. A fairly steep front-gable with enclosed soffits and only a slight overhang caps the structure. The gable face is vented at the peak in a diamond pattern, with courses of fishscale and conventional shingles below. Separated from the gable end by a flat molding and a band of vertical siding, the second story is sided with staggered square butt shingles. A pair of double-hung windows are symmetrically placed. Spanning the clapboarded lower level, an attached porch is topped by a front gable of much shallower pitch. Posts and a porch wall define the space. The entry is located at the west end while a pair of openings, now covered with a security grille, are centered in the east portion. Set behind a lawn edged with a low cement retaining wall, the house is in good condition.

RESEARCH NOTES: Originally "601"(505), "613" (511), and "629" (535) all occupied one large parcel, according to the 1912 Sanborn. This house was not there in 1907, thus it must have been built between the publication of the two maps. Since its styling points to an early date, it is assumed to have been built or moved on site circa 1907. According to the recollections of long-time residents, Jesse Brown, a teacher at Fannie D. Noe School, lived in the house in the early 1920s. The lot split did not take place until 1938, when the owners were Horace and Emma Appleburg. Horace Appleburg was described as a laborer in the 1940 directory entry.
