Statement of Significance: The construction date is unknown. The steep gable, full-width porch, square supports, upper paired windows, and layered wall treatment preserve a strong Craftsman-era cottage character. These features support a preliminary Criterion C district contribution. Apparent replacements remain subordinate to the principal form. Contributing Determination: This is a preliminary contributing recommendation. The recommendation applies only to the main building unless an accessory resource is expressly evaluated. Confirm the construction date, applicable district boundary, and period of significance before finalizing the ICRIS field. Evaluation of Integrity under Criterion C: – Location: The resource remains on the mapped parcel and maintains its relationship to the street and alley. Historic location has not been independently documented. – Design: The visible massing, roof form, openings, and entrance treatment continue to convey the identified Craftsman cottage. Any unresolved feature is named above. – Setting: The sidewalk, planted setback, mature canopy, nearby dwellings, and alley service pattern preserve a coherent residential setting. Recent work on adjoining parcels is noted where visible. – Materials: The photographs support the present material identifications of narrow horizontal lap siding; substrate not evident and asphalt shingles. They do not establish which components are original. – Workmanship: Visible trim, porch elements, roof-edge details, and wall treatments retain evidence of the building's exterior design; concealed or replaced work is not assumed. – Feeling: The building's scale, setback, roof form, and street presence continue to express an older residential character except where the record remains pending. – Association: Under the proposed Criterion C basis, the relevant association is with the Craftsman cottage type expressed by the surviving form and detail. No architect, builder, event, or person association is established.
