Frenchtown District Map
"Early - Modern: Craftsman, Bungaloid, Moderne, circa 1906-1940. Coded E
Forty-six District buildings (approximately 25% of the total) show influence of progressive design traditions associated with the Early Modern Movement. The majority are modest one-story; usually frame (sometimes brick) on concrete block or brick foundations, exhibiting Craftsman front gables with wide eave overhangs trimmed with simple buckets A sizable concentration is found in City Block; 119 and 120 -which were largely unimproved before the first decade of the 20th century, although examples are scattered throughout the district.
In addition, there are a few brick (often textured and of
variegated color) or frame bungalows on concrete foundations which
employ side-gabled roofs with oversized front dormers; shed-roof, full-width porches, supported by large brick or wood end-piers, are common. During the teens and twenties commercial buildings abandoned the highly ornamental revival style cornice for a sleek, shaped parapet, minimal trimmed with geometric brickwork. The new parapet
treatment is also illustrated in one multi-family flat, and in the 1914-25 façade of Franklin School; the adjoining 1926 school
gymnasium features Craftsman brickwork motifs and a lamella roof. By the World War II era, a few facades were further streamlined, exhibiting unornamented, smooth brick wall planes, or the barest minimum of Moderne horizontal brick banding." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
