221 North Third Street, Louis and David Wald Houses, ca. 1895.
This complex consists of two 2 1/2 story, mirror-image houses that have been connected with a small two-story brick addition and converted into apartments. Both houses have stone foundations, stone facades, and hip roofs. The facade of each house has a corner tower and two bays. The six-sided towers have stone walls, three 1/1 windows on each level and conical roofs. The tower on the south house is 2 1/2 stories tall; the tower on the north house is only 2 stories tall. Each house has a one-story porch covered the two bays on the front elevation. Each house also has front-facing cross gable, which spans across two thirds of the facade; it has decorative shingles in the gable end. Each house has brick walls on the side and rear elevations and each has a two-story three-sided bay window with a gable roof on the side elevation. Windows on the side and rear elevations have arched brick lintels and stone sills. There are exterior staircases on the side and rear elevations of the complex. The houses have been joined since the early twentieth century. - Historic District Nomination
