House

-A A +A
c. 1927. 919 Washington St.

This is a Tudor Revival house in half-timber, stucco, and stone. The roof of the living room wing has been brought down so close to the ground (almost to the scale of a dollhouse) that the windows at the eave side have been treated as wall dormers. The main front entrance is through a deep porch set between two projecting stone walls.
