The porch and room above it are unsympathetic later additions to the house. Much of the original detail remains, including the stone sill and incised stone lintels on the 2/2 double hung sash windows. The cornice, with its paired brackets, cornice windows and decorative wood panels is still intact.Charles Richmann, the builder, was a man of many talents, which is evidenced by the various occupations he pursued. He is listed in the city directories at various times as Chief of the Fire Department (1869), a wagon maker (1872), and a carpenter (1880). After his death in the 1890s, various family members continued to live at this address until 1924.Fletcher Place Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1980 single-family dwelling |
