History of Mark:
"Late Victorian, circa 1865-1905, Coded C
Represented in this chronological period are 62 buildings
(about 30% of the total) whose forms and detailing frequently mix
various related Picturesque styles, including Italianate, Mansard,
Gothic Revival, and Queen Anna. Eighteen of the total are frame and
the remainder are brick. The majority of these buildings express
stylistic influence primarily in ornamental detailing, new roof forms and in irregular plan shapes in houses. Italianate examples are
limited to two, 1860s large brick houses featuring prominent bracketed
cornices and to a couple of commercial/residential buildings which employ bracketed cornices, and in one case, an ornamental cast Iron storefront. New picturesque roof profiles are found in houses exhibiting dormered mansard roofs (and Italianate
bracketed cornices), or prominent gable-front facades; separately,
roofed, spindlework wood porches are also typically found sometimes in more conversative side-gabled houses. Gable front-and-wing designs as well as cross-gable extensions from hipped roofs create irregular plans or several small houses and also as a few two-story Queer, Anna houses which feature decorative surface patterning on gables. One two-story commercial building at 900 N Second employs a Mansard roof." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
