Description |
Two of the three buildings are of a similar cottage style, the
northernmost being large than the center building. The southern building
is a one story cruciform plan shallow hip roof structure. The arm of the
cross facing the Court is a shallow gabled portico centered on a pair of
front doors for two units. There single one over one replacement windows
by each door and similar units on the other stuccoed facades. The other
two buildings are two story versions with a gabled roof parallel to the
front and a wide shed dormer centered on the facade. The center building
has been stuccoed and has continuous eave lines on the front and back
that limit the size of the shed dormer windows to horizontal rectangles.
It is also a two unit residence with a raised front porch and paired
gable end windows above a door and window on the end facades. The
northernmost building is the largest and best preserved. It is slightly
longer with paired windows flanking the shared raised entrance porch. The
shed dormer also interrupts the eave lines allowing three full size one
over one paired second floor windows matching the first floor units. The
building has its original wood shingle siding over a stucco base. The
gable end elevations have a symmetrical arrangement of four windows
aligned top and bottom. |
