7. Narrative Description:
This property is located in the Cathedral Historic District. StyleNear: 1899-1900/1900 (Assessor),
three-story brick Second Empire/Queen Anne style apartment block. Very unusual application of style
to this building type and rather unusual location on a cross street and alley intersection.
Physical Description: unusual alleyway location, prominent alleyside octagonal bay and dome roof with
finial, twin three-sided bays on fayade, the west one terminating below the cornice line, the east one
continuing through the attic level with a pedimented gable roof cap. Bracketed cornice line, single
plane mansard attic roof form. Two south single door entrances. Assessor treats as three-stories,
rectangular plan (29x57) with two rear full-height brick wings (west one half width, offset to alley line,
28x14'6", north one offset to east but recessed five feet from east main wall, 28x28, with intervening
void. As of 1955 a deck connected the rear, 5x39 and there were two south porches, one in southwest
corner, the other in the area between the bays, the bays measure 2'6"x10. Stone foundation.
Alterations: one entry apparently sealed. Permits note porch repair 1963, interior remodeling 1978
($57,130), re-roofing of three bays, window casings 1999, two-car masonry garage 1949 (333).
Assessor notes concrete block garage 20x20 built 1947.
Landscaping/Setting: alleyway corner, fronts south.
8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
Building History: Mrs. Knowlton sold an old frame house on 4th between Locust and Bluff and
announced plans to erect a "handsome structure" on the property. Henry Knowlton resided in an
apartment at this address as of 1921. Still listed as residence, 23 4th as of 1899. Laura M. Knowlton
and John P. Jnigley owned this property when it was sewered (no date). Henry and Lucille Jansen own
1947-71+.
It is my understanding that 339 W. 4th was built before the Civil War and the other two sections to alley
immediately after the Civil War. It consisted of 3 row houses. In 1978 the Wallis Family purchased the
building. We removed the two-car masonry garage and added 2 bay windows and an entrance on Bluff
Street side. We also enclosed in the rear (the space between building #1 and #2) and added an open
staircase to 3rd floor. The building became 9 apartments w/ a store on first floor. The porch on the
back of the building is a very poor addition added by someone else before WWII. The stain glass
windows and leaded glass windows are original to the building; the three on the new west side entrance
came from the second floor.
1899 directory lists Mrs. Knowlton at 45 Fourth St.
Mrs. B. Kane is listed at 23 West Fourth.
