District Map
Usually I brag on the Missouri nomination forms, and how detained their are with individual properties in a historic district. But this district is not one of those. There are no individual listings, only the map controls contributing or not.
No plaque or marker to assist in the history; and the building itself, well, it look Federal.
1½ story house, dormer in roof, with 6/6 window.
Brick home seems small, but runs deep. Front facade is single door and two 6/6 widows. Door and windows have bricks on edge transoms, while door has glass side lights.
"The structures on South Main Street are aligned, with facades adjacent to the sidewalk and ridge roofs commonly sharing the sane
northeast-southwest orientation as South Main Street. Characteristically the structures are 1½ to 2½ stories high with a rectangular plan front block and rear ell additions. The ridge roofs of the front sections are oriented parallel to the street passing in front. Chimneys" are centered on the vertical midlines of the gable end walls. In several examples adjacent structures have their gable end walls abutted. The structures were built for commercial and/or residential occupancy. The two story structures typically have living quarters located above the street level businesses." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
