Chatham Resident [910 Park Ave.]
| Description: |
On slide mount: Yes 910 N. Park Avenuec. 1894This house was probably built in 1894 when its owner, Christian Hornberger, a carpenter, took out a substantial mortgage. Hornbergers own house at 530 E. 9th Street shared the lot with 910 N. Park Avenue. The two properties were subdivided around 1918.The asymmetrical plan of this house is accented by the great variety in its roof forms. Two gables extend from the hipped roof over the main body of the house, and the side tower is capped by a pyramidal roof. When shingle-brick siding was put on the house, original window surrounds were removed - both actions resulting in a change in character. The brick, pillared porch dates to around 1920. Two original decorative features of note are the towers finial and a terra-cotta chimney pot.Chatham-Arch Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1982 single-family dwelling |
