1410 Fayetteville Street – Walter Matthews House

04.08.12

This one-story, triple-A-roofed house is three bays wide and single-pile with a full-width, shed-roofed rear ell. The house has a brick-pier foundation with concrete-block curtain wall, Masonite siding on the facade, plain wood weatherboards on the rest of the house, and an interior brick chimney. Molded wood siding remains in the front gable. The house has a partially-boarded-over front door, which appears to be a single-light-over-single-panel wood door. Wood four-over-four, double-hung windows remain throughout, also partially boarded over. The hip-roofed front porch is supported by decorative metal posts on a concrete stoop and is accessed by a granite stair. The earliest known occupant is Walter Matthews (brickman) in 1930.
