1926
The gable-roofed end house of its Jefferson Court row is built with a two-story open porch
Completed in 1926, this house ends a row of seven around a Jefferson Court garden and is the only one in the row that historically had a standing-seam metal gable roof, the rest being flat. Its four-bay rear, facing the through-block service driveway, historically had a two-story open brick porch, and a second-floor door opens onto the porch terrace.
“The last building historically had a standing seam metal, eaves front gable roof... Historically the facade featured a two-story, open brick porch…”
