Reflecting the Craftsman Style popular in the early 20th century, this home’s decorative gable-end, eave brackets, exposed rafter tails, slightly exterior brick chimney, gable-end vent and sturdy brick columns supporting the side-gable front and porch reveal the signals of “honest bones” construction common to the style of this brick masonry home. The painted exterior is most likely a later application as the natural hues of the original brick would be more compatible with early designs. Low, brick balustrades are nearly hidden by foundation plantings; where trim paint emphasizes top brick, the original brick corbelling colors may have also been contrasting in color and/or texture.
