313 S. Hickory Street - Historic Ottawa Central Business District - Ottawa, Kansas - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

Date of Construction: c. 1886; c. 1915 (renovation)
Style: Craftsman

This two-story frame building has clapboard siding and a cross-gabled roof with composition shingles. A brick chimney rises at the intersection for the building wings. A one-story porch with brick piers surrounding the chimney is now enclosed. Fenestration includes single and banded wood double-hung sash windows with a six-over-one light configuration. The flared fascia boards on the gable eaves, the knee braces at the roofline and porch, and the banded windows convey elements of Craftsman styling.

Historic maps suggest that this building was originally constructed in the late nineteenth century. Renovations in the early twentieth century resulted in its Craftsman features. It continues to convey its historic associations and contributes to the significance of the historic district.
