7. Narrative Description:
This two story rectangular brick house measures 30' x 40' plus front porch. It features a
symmetrical side gable entrance and full porch across the fayade. Partial cornices returns are found on
the gable ends, and a rear portion looks like an addition but appears to be original. Windows on the
fayade are paired, and windows throughout the house are double hung sash. There is a single end
chimney and a shed dormer is centered on the front. The exterior walls are of variegated brick, typical
of the early 20th century. The heavy front porch with its square brick posts is also typical of the period.
Colonial Revival was one of a number of popular styles between 1900-1920. The symmetry of the
house is a major characteristic of this style.
This house is a good example of its period and style, but it does not appear to have individual
NR significance.
8. Narrative Statement of Significance:
The 1915 construction date provided by the assessor's office appears to be correct. Although
this particular neighborhood began expanding in an easterly direction in the 1880s, residential
construction continued in all the decades that followed. In-fill is common in most parts of the Eagle
Point area.
