Alvin O. Lombard House

Source 📝

262:-story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, shingled exterior, and stone foundation. Its front facade, facing west, is dominated by a projecting gabled section, which features a recessed porch flanked by polygonal windows bays, and a three-window recess in the upper part of the gable. A single-story porch extends across the front, and sweeps around to the side without a covering roof. A two-story carriage house of similar styling is attached to the northeastern corner; it has a square cupola at the top of its gambrel roof. The interior retains significant original decorative elements, despite its 1940s alteration into a multiunit residence. 836: 51: 90: 65: 847: 97: 72: 725: 820: 756: 740: 730: 876: 290: 815: 761: 871: 402: 782: 684: 715: 649: 614: 689: 594: 554: 379: 654: 644: 639: 619: 735: 569: 484: 604: 599: 474: 694: 659: 564: 539: 679: 629: 609: 584: 574: 559: 549: 534: 514: 489: 479: 469: 699: 674: 579: 519: 499: 494: 464: 454: 634: 589: 529: 504: 459: 891: 766: 664: 544: 509: 720: 669: 624: 524: 432: 417: 248:
