6. Notes:
-Early example of mid-nineteenth century “Flat-Roof” House with classic
bracket decoration under widely overhanging eaves. Although, original survey
was mistaken in calling these flat roof houses; Italianate style employed only
very low hipped roofs that appear flat from the ground surface, aerial imagery
confirms that these were not flat but low pyramidal roof forms.
