62 Society Street (Hieronymus-Tiedeman House)Entry/Object ID
SOCIETY.062.1Scope and Content
Constructed 1838-40; rehabilitated late 1980s. William T. Hieronymus, the co-owner of a nearby livery stable who also built 66 Society Street, built this large 3-story, stucco-coated brick dwelling. The house is particularly unusual because it has a masked piazza, a side porch which is shaded from the street by the extension of the front wall of the building, complete with windows and other facade features. After earthquake damage in 1886, Victorian window hoods were installed and a new cornice was added to the top of the facade.
File contains letter from Kenneth W. Severens his conclusions about the front facade (1980); newspaper article about planned restoration (1972); FOHG house history (2001) and garden history (2004); historical/chain-of-title research notes (through 1965); historical research notes about various purchases by Otto Tiedeman and family, 1847-1881; photocopies of photographs.Collection
