YEAR BUILT: 1911
ARCHITECT/BUILDER: Unknown
ORIGINAL OWNER: J.P. Griffin
ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION:
A series of sizable brick piers with innovative Prairie School capitals marks the front of this house. The piers rise to various heights in response to different functions; some support planters at the height of the second story railing, whereas others continue up to support a shed porch roof. The gable roof forms exhibit various types of brackets and carved rafters. The residence shows less formality than its neighbors because of a more casual window arrangement on the front facade. There seems to be more concern for the plan than for the elevation.
