national register nomination for boulevard park historic

This single-story Italianate house has a hipped roof of low pitch with a bracketed cornice and a prominent
front bay with hipped roof that continues the bracketed cornice line. A small shed roof over the porch is
supported by rectangular wooden posts and brick stairs with wrought-iron handrails. Walls are simple drop
siding. The main entry door has a stained glass transom window. Windows are narrow double-hung
wooden sash with a single pane in each sash. Although the building has been altered, it is a contributor to
the district because of its overall scale and rare architectural style. This building is one of several older
houses moved to the neighborhood after the demolition of the Union Park racetrack. Its relocation occurred
prior to the end of the district’s period of significance (According to Sanborn maps, the house was moved
to the district no later than 1915.) The building gains significance from the role it played in the district as an
inexpensive but architecturally distinct home in the affordable end of Boulevard Park.
