1929
Pierce L. Kiesewetter gives the house neo-Tudor oriels, half-timbering and a clay tile roof
The Plymouth Houses, finished in 1929, are brick trimmed with cast stone, stucco and wood in the neo-Tudor style. Details across the group include oriels, battlements, label lintels, half-timbering, dormers, gable-end chimneys and clay tile roofs. The side and rear walls repeat the front designs and can partly be seen from the street, and many of the original multi-pane wood windows and wood doors survive.
