General architectural description: 708 Pine is a small one-story, wood framed residence. The primary elevation faces north to Pine Street. The exterior is clad with horizontal steel siding of a light cream color. The roof is hipped, rising to a gabled peak with a triangular attic vent on the north side. Eaves are boxed with brown aluminum soffit, fascia and gutters. The roofing consists of dark brown asphalt shingles. There is a light tan attached brick chimney on the east side near the front. There is a small projecting bay on the north facade, just west of the recessed entrance porch. There is a slightly lower -sloped shed roof extension on the north side to cover the projecting bay and the porch. The shed extension is supported on 4x4 wood posts painted brown. The porch floor is concrete and level with the sidewalk. A low black wrought iron porch fence and gate enclose the porch. The front door is brown painted wood with a brown aluminum storm/screen door. The entrance door faces east from the projecting bay. There is an addition on the south side of the house with a very low-pitched gambrel roof and a shed roof over the patio. All of the windows on the house are non -historic white aluminum sliders with simulated divided lights, and white aluminum storm/screen sash. 22. Architectural style/building type: Hipped -roof box (altered) 23. Landscaping or special setting features: Jefferson Place Subdivision is a historic residential neighborhood adjacent to downtown Louisville. The subdivision is laid out on a standard urban grid of narrow, deep lots with rear alleys. Houses are built to a fairly consistent setback line along the streets with small front lawns, deep rear yards and mature landscaping. Small, carefully maintained single-family residences predominate. Most of the houses are wood framed, one or one and one-half stories in height, featuring white or light-colored horizontal wood or steel siding, gabled or hipped asphalt shingled roofs and front porches. While many of the houses have been modified over the years, most of the historic character -defining features have been preserved. 708 Pine Street is consistent with these patterns and blends well with the scale and character of the neighborhood. It has a small, grassy front yard that is open to Pine Street. Side yards are very narrow. The side yard to the west is paved with concrete. The back yard has a concrete patio and a grassy area enclosed with tall privacy fencing. To the south is one of a few very narrow east -west alleys that were established in the original Jefferson Place plat. Too narrow for contemporary vehicles, these alleys were abandoned and the land deeded to the adjacent property owners. 24. Associated buildings, features, or objects: There are two sheds in the back yard. At the east side, there is a metal shed with a metal gabled roof. At the west side there is a shed with horizontal tan composition siding and a gray gabled roof. IV. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY 25.
