General architectural description: 701 Jefferson is a one-story, wood framed residence, irregularly shaped in plan, facing east to Jefferson Avenue. Exterior siding is tan horizontal composition siding with white painted wood trim. The roof is a cross gable with brown asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. The main entrance is at the south end of the east facade. It is a brown painted wood panel door with two lights and a white aluminum storm door, opening to a simple, uncovered concrete stoop with two concrete steps. There is an addition in the northeast corner where an old L- shaped plan was filled in. This addition has a lower -sloped shed roof and non -historic aluminum slider windows. There is a second shed -roofed addition on the northwest corner with non -historic white aluminum slider windows and non -historic gable windows. The historic part of the south elevation has historic wood sash double hung windows, painted white. The northwest addition has a white wood panel door with a fan light facing south. 705 Jefferson is north of 701. 705 is a one-story wood framed residence, generally rectangular in plan, facing east to Jefferson Avenue. Exterior siding is white horizontal composition lap siding with tan trim. The roof is a front gable with light gray/tan asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. The main entrance is located in the center of the east facade. The entrance features a covered porch with a shed roof on exposed wood joists bearing on two wooden 4x4 posts. The porch has a concrete stoop and three concrete steps, and a porch railing of vertical wood boards painted alternately white and tan. The door is a white painted wood panel door with a fan light, and an aluminum storm/screen door. There is an addition along the full length of the south side, with a low - slope shed extension of the main gable roof. A smaller addition with a shed roof is located on the northwest corner of the building. 705 Jefferson has a variety of window styles and types, mostly non -historic. The east facade has a fixed horizontal aluminum window on the north end, and a large painted wooden casement south of the entrance. The north side has a wood casement. The south elevation has two pairs of 2/3 divided light wood sliders and a set of three wood casements. The west side has two 8/8 divided light double hung windows and a loft door in the gable. There is also a door on the west side, a dark stained wood panel door with five upper vertical lights. 627 Pine is a secondary residence at the southwest corner of the site, along the alley. 627 Pine is a one-story wood framed residence, rectangular in plan. Its entrance faces east into the property. Exterior siding is tan horizontal wood lap siding with a wide profile. Relative to the entrance, the roof is a side gable (or a front gable relative to Pine Street). Roofing consists of brown asphalt shingles and eaves are boxed. The east side has a white painted wood panel door with an upper light and an aluminum storm/screen door, sheltered by a non - historic aluminum awning. There is also a door on the west side leading to a concrete stoop at the alley. This is a historic white painted wood panel door with an aluminum screen door. Windows on this house are a combination of historic white painted wood sliders and double hung windows. This building's replacement siding and boxed eaves give it a relatively modern appearance. However its size, proportions, windows and location on the property suggest that it could be one of several early cabins that exist throughout Jefferson Place. Most of these are along alleys or internal to lots. 2
