This single-story Folk Victorian/Italianate residence has a hipped roof over a front-facing L plan with an<br />
elaborately bracketed cornice. The porch has a hipped roof supported by rectangular columns. The walls<br />
are simple drop siding. Under the porch is a large aluminum slider window, all other windows are narrow<br />
double hung wooden sash windows with prominent lintels and sills. Although the building has been altered,<br />
its overall scale and rare architectural style make it a contributor to the district, one of several older houses<br />
moved to the neighborhood after the demolition of the Union Park racetrack. Its relocation occurred prior to<br />
the end of the district’s period of significance, and it gains significance from the role it played in the district<br />
as an inexpensive but architecturally distinct home in the af<strong>for</strong>dable end of Boulevard Park. According to<br />
Sanborn maps, the house was moved to the district no later than 1915.<br />

exposed, with extended and elaborated rafter ends. Stickwork decorates the peak of both the main gable<br />
and the porch gable. A small divided light window is offset on the main gable adjacent to the porch gable.<br />
On the porch gable are two small divided light windows. Walls are false bevel drop siding. The porch is<br />
supported by two rectangular battered pillars with rectangular porch supports of false bevel drop siding and<br />
a wooden balustrade. The stairs are concrete, with substantial concrete handrails. Beneath the porch are a<br />

two narrow double-hung wood sash windows over a wooden-sashed picture window. Beneath these<br />
windows is a plywood garage door leading to a basement level garage. The building was constructed <strong>for</strong> A.<br />
W. Norris. Despite the addition of the garage, this building retains almost all of its character-defining<br />
features and is thus a contributor to the district.<br />
