CHANGES OVER TIME <br />The property at 936 La Farge Avenue contains a primary structure and detached garage. It is a <br />corner property. The primary structure is a front -gabled, one-story building with no porch. <br />"Stories in Places", a residential historic context for Louisville from 2018, lists the style of the <br />structure as National, a folk form popular between the 1850s and 1930s enabled by the <br />expansion of railroads and access to cheaper lumber, combined with the simple, older forms of <br />previous decades. Many different styles can be applied to it, such as Victorian and Greek <br />Revival. 936 La Farge does not appear to have any additional ornamentation or styling. <br />The 1948 Assessor image (below) is taken from the south on La Farge and shows the front and <br />south facades of the structure. The front door is in the same location as it was in 1948, as is a <br />rear window on the southeast corner of the building. However, the front windows and the side <br />windows have changed in shape and design. The chimney is no longer present. From the north <br />view, on South Street, the windows have also changed, likely as part of the same renovation <br />that changed the south and front windows. There is a rear addition that may be an enclosed <br />porch on the east side. <br />The building permit file shows that there was at least some work done around 1963 on the <br />siding and the "back porch." These changes were all completed prior to 1977 (see 1977 <br />Assessor image below). <br />1948 Assessor image (top), 1977 Assessor image (bottom), and current view (right). <br />3 <br />
