Southern Pacific Railroad Section Superintendent House - Folsom, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) constructed the Section Superintendent House, located at 815 Oakdale Street, Folsom in 1915. The 1 1/2 story bungalow exhibits the general shape of saltbox style architecture, has a modified rectangular plan, gable roof, and enclosed front porch. The house sits among several trees and shrubbery on a fenced lot less than an acre in size. The fenced lot is on a triangular- shaped parcel bound by Oakdale Street (north) and by railroad tracks at the Folsom Junction wye. The parcel outside of the fenced lot is either leased to a landscaping supply company or is used for equipment storage and is outside of the boundaries of this nomination. The Superintendent House has undergone alterations both during and after the period of significance. The front porch was enclosed before 1943, during the period of significance. Alterations occurring after the period of significance include the addition of a front wood deck and a modern sliding glass door on the south wall. The property retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance as an example of the type of housing constructed by SPRR for a section superintendent." (visit link)
