Low-roofed
wings and a long covered porch spread like welcoming arms on
this grand two-story in the Victorian Farmhouse Style.
Basically, working middle class versions of the Queen Anne with
simpler details and basic, asymmetrical floor plans. Gables,
multi-paned windows and fish scale trim all reinforce the
Victoriana flavor, while the inside emphasizes comfort and
grace. The foyer, a versatile front room can serve as home
office or a convenient place to change coat and shoes, opening
to the Great Room (Living Room). Ceilings throughout these
living areas reach eight +/- feet. The formal Dining Room has a
Bowed Bank of 3 Windows, ½ Bath convenient on the first floor
and restored kitchen with a double caste iron farm sink hidden
behind by-fold doors.
Upstairs, three family bedrooms share another bath. The two-car
garage is just a few steps away from the back porch.
The
spread of Folk/Farmhouse Victorians (and other late 19th century
styles) was made possible by railroads expanding into smaller
towns and cities. Mass-produced wood features could be
transported quickly and cheaply almost anywhere. Home builders
often simply added trim and ornament to traditional folk
houses.
