530 E. 9th St., Hornberger House, 1978
| Description: |
On slide mount: 530 E. 9th St., Jun. 78 Yes Hornberger House530 E. 9th Street1885Christian Hornberger, a carpenter with the Jungclaus and Schumacher construction company, built this house in 1885 and lived here until his death around 1903. His wife Luzetta continued to live here until her death in 1918. The next owner-occupant was Lewis Herbert Haag (1894-1942), who lived here from 1920 to 1928. Haag was a nephew of Louis Haag (founder of the Haag Drugstore chain) and was general manager of the chain of pharmacies until it was sold in 1932.One of the most interesting features of this house is the narrow, vertical siding with its decorative, alternating sawtooth pattern along the tie-beam line of the two main gable ends. Below this, aluminum siding probably obscures other such details of carpentry. The roof plan of this house is complicated, with two cross gables surmounted by a third, higher gable at their juncture.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 single-family dwelling |
