ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION See continuation sheet.
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings
within the community.
This 2 1/2-story, 8 x 2-bay, center-entry, 2-family house first appears at the
present location between 1906 and 1911. Its stylistic features, however, are
of a much earlier, mid-19th century, building, suggesting it may have been
moved to this site. Greek Revival elements include the eave treatment of ogee
cornice with frieze and gable returns and the Italianate Classical, post and
lintel surround. The latter includes a heavy cornice cap accented by small,
paired, jig-saw cut brackets, framing the center, entrances of paired,
recessed, entries of nineteenth-century, 4-panel doors surmounted by transoms.
Fenestration consists of 2/2 double-hung sash with molded trim. A pair of
slim, interior chimneys stand on the ridge line.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE See continuation sheet.
Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state history. Include uses
of the building and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
This large, frame, multi-family was built in 1908. The atlas of 1911
^ attributes it to Anna Rock, but she is not listed in local directories.
•* Early tenants reflect the changing ethnic nature of the area and include
Irish, Jewish, French Canadian and Polish surnames. Some are tradesmen, but
most are laborers or workers in local leather or shoe factories.
