605 N Roxboro, 1980
1981 Durham Tech survey:
sitting on a solid cinder-block foundation is an carly 20th century Victorian, German-sided, one-story, triple-A, with a gabled L-wing on the north rear to which has been added two shed additions. A single, interior, brick chimney pierces the asphalt shingled roof which has boxed cornices with returns, small rectangular wooden ventilators in the gable ends, and a pedimented front gable. The hip roof, full facade front porch has sawn brackets, a beaded-sheathing ceiling, replacement 4" X 4" posts, and missing rails and balusters, and the back porch has been replaced by the two shed additions. The windows were originally 4/4 and 2/2 with simple, flat surrounds, most of which have been replaced with smaller horizontal 2/2's below which have been tacked on upside down pointed arches; the front door is a single light over a single raised panel. The siding is painted a bright green and the trim is chartreuse.
The house has been radically altered in the interim, with the front enclosed entirely, elimination of an entrance on North Roxboro, and a shift of the entrance to the south side of the house.
Southern side of the house, facing north - original entrance would be around the right side of the pictured facade.
