This frame cottage has a gable roof, gable brackets, and a three-bay main facade. <br>Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987Foote-Igoe House <br>527 Lockerbie Street <br>1855; north portion added c. 1870 <br>This house is a strong counterpoint to the Riley House across the street. The porch, the gable on the facade and the trim at the eaves are additions to an earlier building. Mary Foote was the daughter of Janet McOuat, who platted Lockerbie Street. Mary built the original house and sold it the following year to Martin Igoe. Maria Kinder, Igoes mother-in-law and widow of the second Marion County surveyor, later owned the house. <br>Features of the house include the brick construction, paired round-arch openings, hip roof, bracketed cornice and centered front entrance. The most striking and unusual feature is the center gable dormer which is above the second story porch, resting on a projecting main porch . <br>Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987 |
