District Map
"Improvement of the east side of Cedar was underway by 1906 when Kahmann
heirs began selling off parcels in the 400 block. With the exception
of the Edward Wellenkamp house at 406 Cedar which retains free classic
Queen Anne features, the houses in this block
departed from Victorian design. All, however, were uniformly set back
from the street." ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF page 9
"Revival Styles. 1385-1941. Coded C; Photos #1 through #1O).
"This group
of twenty-one buildings represents nearly two-thirds of the total
District count. Fourteen are Queen Anne, four are Colonial Revival,
and there is one example each of the following styles: Neoclassical,
Tudor, and a mixed revival vocapulary. The District's four frame
buildings are within the Queen Anne Revival group. All of the Revival
buildings rise two or two and one-half stories except for three brick
one or one and one-half story houses. Queen Anne houses exhibit most of
the major stylistic characteristics associated with the style:
irregular plan-shapes with set-backs, or projecting wings or bays;
hipped roofs with asymmetrically placed front and side gables, or full-width
front gable roofs; asymmetrical façades often punctuated with
towers or bays; one-story front porches; and tall chimneys. Several of
the houses also display exuberant detailing commonly found in the
style: Eastlake incised panels, elaborated wood bracketed or corbelled
brick cornices, filigree corner brackets, roof finials, prominent
façade gables enriched with trusses, sunbursts or patterned wood
shingles. Three frame houses - 309, 315, and 413 Cedar - display
overhanging front gables. A few of the later (circa 1905-1910] Queen
Anne houses take up a free classic subtype defined principally by the
use of classically detailed corones and more restrained massing."
