Description |
This house is one of 5 houses built together on the south side of Leigh that contain a rather unique porch design. The house has a front end gabled roof with a cross gable that extends over an east facing projection. Roof is clad in asphalt shingles. Walls are clad in stucco and the eaves are aluminum. The two-story main (north) façade has a paired 2x2 window on the 2nd level and the same directly beneath on the 1st floor. Windows are 1x1 replacements throughout house. The porch runs the length of the front façade. It is a nearly flat-roofed porch but with a front gabled extension over the steps and the main entrance door, a cottage door with six frieze lights over two vertical panels (replaced circa 2000). Porch supported by 3 scared with light rail and balustrade in between. The porch is wooden, as are the steps opposite door that reach grade. A 1-story shed addition is at attached to rear. Foundation: rubble stone. East façade displays the 2-story gabled projection, but no shed roof element between projection and front porch (#60, 64, 66). East side contains 1 window at 1st and 2nd levels aligned on gable extension, and one window both levels aligned near NE corner. West side obscured. Foundation is stone (rare in Witherspoon-Jackson). At rear of property is a stucco clad garage with end gable roof and while two bays wide, it contains just a single overhead garage door. |
