This single-story, single dwelling residential building was built CA. 1935-1939. It was built in the bungalow style with craftsman elements, typical to the Southern vernacular seen around Springfield, Georgia beginning in the early 20th century. There is no specific academic style seen in this property but contains bungalow features such as the wide front gable and partial front portico. The rectangular floor plan is two unequal rooms more than two rooms deep. The asymmetrical one door façade is flanked by two sets of double-hung sash windows on each side that are 3/1. The roof is front oriented gable made of asphalt shingle. The chimney is made of lateral exterior brick and on the exterior of the gable. The construction material is made up of vinyl siding and aluminum siding. The foundation is continuous concrete. The front partial porch is one-story made of wood and is covered by the gable roof and wide eaves overhangs. There appears to be an addition to the west side with a cross-gable roof and an additional door with ramp. There was a shed roof wing added off the east side possibly for use as an enclosed porch. A carport was added off the rear of the house on the north end. The front porch supports were replaced in the 1960s by metal decorative supports. The storage shed in the back is a side gable frame shed featuring exposed rafter ends, corrugated metal roof and clapboard siding. The yard is a casual setting with no distinct features. #ARCHITECTURE #COMMUNITY #EFFINGHAM_COUNTY #GA #HISTORIC_PRESERVATION #RESIDENTIAL #SOUTHERN_DWELLINGS #SPRINGFIELD #VERNACULAR
