Cleveland-Holloway

References in the 1891 deed of trust between Samuel Linton Leary and Mr. H. J. Webb for the Leary-Colletta House next door indicate that 813 Cleveland Street at that time was owned and occupied by S. T. Holloway, who probably had it built in the 1880s. The two- story, one-room-deep main block of the house with a triple-A roofline is enlarged with a two-story hip-roofed wing across the rear and two one-story gable-roofed rear ells. J. W. Hutchins succeeded Holloway here around the turn of the century. Hutchins was a butcher at the City Market until the late 1910s when he became vice president of City Ice and Coal; he died in the early 1920s.

When this house was built at the turn of the century, the south end was one-and-one-half stories and the north end, with the projecting facade, was a single story; sometime after 1913 a full second story was added, converting the house to its present form. The house was built in the first decade of this century. City directories reveal that it had a series of occupants from the late 1910s to at least the early 1930s, indicating that it may have been rental property, its status today, at an early date.

This symmetrical one-story hip-roofed house appears to retain all of its original exterior features. Decorative boards in alternating notched and sawtooth patterns adorn the large attic gables above the front and side elevations. Sawtoothing runs at the base of the entablature, between the intricate sawn foliate spandrels at the simple, turned porch posts. The earliest known occupant of the house was grocer W. H. Hicks who lived here from around 1910 until the late 1920s.

This two-story, T-shaped frame house with a rear one-story ell has returns, patterned shingles and a lunette vent with a "keystone" in each of the attic gables. Much of the wraparound porch has been enclosed; three of the original box posts remain. Dating from early in this century, the house was occupied for many years by Mrs. Cora D. Morris beginning in the 1910s.

a simple, early 20th Century, two-story, three bay wide and three room deep, weatherboarded, Victorian, triple-A I-house resting on a solid brick foundation with a one-story, hip roof rear wing to which has been added a shed addition.

This early twentieth-century, side-gabled Craftsman-bungalow retains much of its historic fabric. The three-bay, double-pile house has a gabled front dormer and decorative knee brackets at the dormer and main rooflines. The earliest known resident is Ernest R. Green (manager) listed in the house from 1924 to 1939.

703 Cleveland, 1980 The careful preservation of this house and its siting on a manicured lot filled with mature trees and flowering shrubbery renders it one of the most distinctive houses on Cleveland Street. This two-story single-pile house with triple-A roofline and one-story rear wings was constructed in the 1890s by R. T. Howerton. Howerton...
