Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) <br /> <br />Located on the northwest corner of South Cypress Avenue and East Pine Street, this is a two-story, “L”-shaped farmhouse <br />influenced by the Queen Anne and Greek Revival styles. Its cross-gabled massing is derived from the Queen Anne tradition <br />while its front-gabled, nearly symmetrical east façade suggests the Greek Revival. Beneath shallow boxed eaves, narrow <br />shiplap siding trimmed with corner boards sheathes the exterior. Windows are narrow, wood-framed, double-hung sash with <br />plain surrounds, arranged singly or in pairs. A small rectangular slatted vent is centered beneath each gabled peak. The <br />attached porch nearly spans the façade and is echoed in a smaller scale by a secondary porch on the south elevation. <br />Square posts support a projecting hipped porch roof, which is embellished by a molded cornice and vertical slat frieze. A <br />plain balustrade encloses the porch space. A large fixed window with a transom is located south of the partially glazed front <br />door. Extending to the west on the south elevation, a one-story rear wing with a gabled roof is typical of houses from this <br />period. A red brick chimney appears on the west slope of the side gable. Except for an enclosed second floor window <br />above the main entrance, the apparently non-original concrete steps and foundation (which probably date to 1944), and the <br />metal fence surrounding the property, the house appears to be substantially intact. <br /> <br />*P3b.
