The Cottage Souvenir, 2nd Edition, 1888 - Design No. 11 (CS1:11)

Outside materials, body of the house is weatherboarded, gables shingled, roof shingled. Foundation, brick. Three coats paint. Outside blinds.

Researcher's Comments:

Carelessly razed by the church for their offices, this home's design is incorrectly attributed to it's builder. This home appears to be an excellent example of how a builder using only the published sketch for guidence, can misinterpret the designers intent regarding proportion and roof pitch.
