1507 Fayetteville Street – William A. Allen House

04.08.12

This one-story, hip-roofed bungalow is three bays wide and triple-pile with a gabled rear ell on the southeast corner and a shed-roofed block north of the ell. The house has a stuccoed foundation and a red-brick veneer with contrasting grey-brick courses at the foundation level and above the window headers. It has four brick chimneys, including a prominent exterior brick chimney on the south elevation. The house has vinyl windows throughout, but retains concrete windowsills and headers. The hip-roofed front dormer has vinyl siding and replacement windows. The engaged front porch is supported by grey-brick columns on red-brick piers with a red-brick knee wall and detailing. It is nearly identical in form to the house at 1505 Fayetteville. County tax records date the building to 1925. The earliest known occupant is William A. Allen (waiter, Benjamin F. Pitts) in 1930.
