SOUTH.043.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1882. Located on the south side of South Street, West of America Street and East of Hanover Street is the
white, two-story wood frame house known as 43 South Street. The house is clad in weatherboard siding on all four facades with symmetrically placed window apertures. Though many of its window openings have been boarded over, the ones which do remain uncovered are six over six double hung sash windows, just as they were in 1985. The form of the house draws from local regional architectural elements such as its single loaded corridor
in front and side piazza. The two-story piazza is found on the house’s west façade running two-thirds down the house’s depth. The last third of the house varies the most from its single house precedent when a solid gabled mass pulls out from the building primary volume and runs perpendicular to the main axis of the house. The house’s brick chimney is located at the intersection of these two building masses. Just beyond this dividing volume is a third volume matching the scale of the front of the house. This portion of the house is also enclosed.
File contains graduate student report (Lauren Lindsey, 2016) on the history of the building/property, which includes historical and chain-of-title research, maps, photos, and other supporting documentation.
