914 Van Buren Street

This house sits slightly above the street with a yard in front that is held in place by a river rock retailing wall installed c.1945. The house has been so significantly altered that a determination of style cannot be accurately made. There really is no part of the original house visible. Despite its c. 1900 construction date, the house looks almost as though it is a 1950s ranch house. Significant alterations on all four facades have been made, including a large dormer in the back. Windows are primarily large single pane fixed. There is brick detailing at the entry porch, though it is merely surfacing. Other surfacing includes wood lap siding.
