the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This is a two-and-a-half story Queen Anne style house with a slate hipped roof that has front and
side gables. The gable fields are ornamented with fish scale shingles. This house has several unique features that add visual interest to the facade. The first is the use of wideboarding
to emphasize the building’s corners and bays. The second is the chamfered corner with lattice bracing on the northwestern corner of the first story. Finally, the house has a recessed
porch with a small gable marking the location of the front entry. The porch also has lattice bracing and a lattice apron. Windows on the house are one over one replacement sashes with
architrave surrounds and projecting lintels and sills. On the northern elevation of the home is a three sided bay with a large multi-paned window in the middle bay. Also on this side
is a gabled dormer and brick chimney. On the southern elevation of the home is a side entry porch. The property includes a one bay garage with front gable roof that sits very close to
the southern elevation of the home. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building, and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. From Form B of 1980: “This house was built in 1894 for Charles Harris, a machinist for the Central Oilgas Stove Co. located
