45-13 Skillman Avenue opens onto a two-story back porch reached by doors on both floors
Like 45-05, 45-07 and 45-15, the house at 45-13 Skillman Avenue in Washington Court was built with a three-bay rear wall: six-over-six windows in the first two bays and a door at each floor in the last bay, leading onto a two-story porch. 45-13 and 45-07 also have smaller four-over-four sash in their center bays. Those porches were originally open; every one of them in this row has since been enclosed.
