YEAR BUILT: 1924
ARCHITECT/BUILDER: M.E. Faber
ORIGINAL OWNER: C.A. Tucker
ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION:
This home is an example of Jacobethan Style. The detailing of the main windows with heavy lintels, wide mullions, and stone tabs shows much concern for authenticity. The heavy Tudor arched lintel over the door, the bay windows, and the prominent use of gables with bracketed bargeboards in the attic story augment the Jacobethan design of the facade.
OF INTEREST: This home was built for $17,500. It was the long-time residence of the late Dr. W.A. Criswell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and his wife.
