<br /> 4 <br /> <br />ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY: <br />The building was constructed around 1897, and has maintained integrity. The structure <br />has undergone several expansions, but has maintained its current form since at least <br />1948. The roof form is a cross gable that with a shed over the front porch. The front <br />window opening appears to have maintained its shape, though the window does not <br />appear to be original. What appears to have been a door on the south side has been <br />shrunk to a window. The chimney is no longer present. <br /> <br />The front porch is still present, though the column has been changed. The brick planter <br />in front appears to be a newer addition. The siding of the front area appears to be <br />wood, though there is evidence that it is not original. The roof material is non-original <br />asphalt shingle. Overall, the form and some window openings have been maintained, <br />giving it fairly strong integrity, despite the loss of some historic materials. <br /> <br />HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND CRITERIA FOR LISTING AS LOCAL <br />LANDMARK: <br />Landmarks must be at least 50 years old and meet one or more of the criteria for <br />architectural, social or geographic/environmental significance as described in Louisville <br />Municipal Code (LMC) Section 15.36.050(A).
