Title

King Street

Description

Main block: traditional merchant house, two stories, three bays. Brick first story painted gray/beige. Second story has beige painted weatherboard. Porch on front (east) covers 2/3 of front elevation and is enclosed with decorative iron grating painted red. Second floor windows on east, north and south elevations appear to be modern. Three windows on west side of north (Cornwall Street) elevation have glass louvers. Modern siding on the second story and patched brickwork on the first story on North elevation suggest previous damage to this side of the building. Windows on rear (possibly original) are 6X6 sash. Hipped roof.
View of addition obstructed by high brick wall. Two stories, approximately three bays, concrete block. Painted beige with red hipped roof. East elevation of addition involves three set-backs: Southern most end of addition sits closest to the street. Date of addition appears to coincide with the enclosure of the porch on the main block with decorative iron work as these iron gates are the same gates that appear under metal awnings on the modern addition.
