"127 East 5th Street, George Schneider Residence, c. 1877, addition c. 1910, Contributing
(Survey #134)
Outbuilding: Alley house, Contributing; Privy, Contributing, Garage, Non-contributing
Constructed in two phases, the earliest portion of this 1/12 story brick Missouri German
house dates from c. 1875. The oldest part is three bays wide and has a cut stone foundation.
In c. 1910, a two bay addition was added to the east. The addition was built on a concrete
foundation, but otherwise matches the original portion of the house. The façade is now five
bays wide with a central entrance topped by a transom. The door has three panels with a
large etched and colored glass light. Window openings have segmental arched openings,
stone sills, and 2/2 wood windows. Hipped roof dormers are centered over the 2nd and fourth
bays. The house has three outbuildings. A large 1 1/2 story frame building, possibly a
secondary residence, has a side gable roof , 6/6 wood windows and a replacement porch
across the façade. It is covered in corrugated metal and wood clapboard siding. Behind this
building is a two-door brick privy with shed roof. A more recently constructed gable front
garage is located at the alley." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
