except on the enclosed porch (see below.) The center bay window is a fixed picture window with divided
lights above a larger single pane. The building’s exterior is false bevel drop siding. A small chimney is
located along the ridge line of the roof. The building appears to have been modified by enclosing the front
porch, originally adjacent to the front gable, with siding that matches the rest of the house, with fixed vinylframed
picture windows. Other than the porch, the building appears to retain sufficient integrity to remain a
contributor to the district.

This two-story Tudor Revival brick, wood and stucco building has a gabled roof with half timbering in the
gable. A three-sided bay which projects beneath the gable overhang at the second floor level is supported
by two brackets with carved human faces. A cartouche with ”SFD Firehouse 4” inscribed serves as the
keystone for the arched central entry. This entry, originally used as the fire truck entrance, has been filled in
with stucco and a paneled door inserted. A metal staircase has been installed on the south side to provide
access to the upper floor, and there is a brick rear addition. Built in 1925, this structure was originally a
Sacramento Fire Department fire station, taken out of service in and converted to residential use. This
building is a contributor to the district.

This 1906 Neoclassic row house has a hipped roof and a hipped dormer with wooden shingles on the roof.
Walls are simple drop siding. The dormer window has a diamond-shaped patterned pane. A bay and porch
with classical columns occupy the front of the house. Windows are vinyl single-hung windows with false
mullions. The railings on the front stairs are simplified later additions not matching the style of the house.
The building was constructed for Frank J. Silvey. Despite some loss of integrity, the overall style and scale
of the house, and its unusual retention of wood shingles on the roof rather than replacement with composite
shingles, make it a contributor to the district.
