624 Logansport
624_Logansport.pdf- Description: This vernacular home shows major alterations. Only comparison between tax assessors sketches from the early 1980s and 1920s era Sanborn maps allow identification of the current building as the same structure historically on the site. The main building features a hipped roof, several additions to the rear, and an irregular floor plan. The irregular floor plan results primarily from a sun room added to the house in 1981. This sun room features a bank of four 3x3 windows on the North side. On the west side of the house, a rectangular transome with square windows topped by a broken triangular pediment adorns the double doors to the sun room. Two 3x3 windows flank the sun room doors. Unlike the rest of the structure, the sun room uses a flat metal roof with exposed false beams on the west side. While the main, hipped roof, structure appears in fair to good condition, the state of repair of the various additions could not be ascertained without entering onto the property. The burglar bars described in the 1990 survey have been removed. A front gabled single bay shotgun house also resides on the property behind a high privacy fence in the rear.
- Significance: Title records show this property entangled in the Hoya sisters' estates. The property, likely, originally served as either servants quarters or a guest house for the neighboring sister's houses. Currently, the property features two structures: a double bay house with attached sun room and additions in the rear, and single shotgun style house.
- The Sanborn Company Fire Insurance maps show the current house with a single story full front porch in 1922. Between 1922 and 1929 the building gained two small additions on the North and South sides. The Tax assessor's sketches of the property indicate the enclosure of the full width front porch shown in 1922 through 1946 Sanborn maps. The hipped dormers located at either side of the house represent additions made after the 1946 Sanborn map. Physical inspection of the property shows the addition of two expansions to the rear of the house, plus a carport, subsquent to the 1946 Sanborn map. Finally, the tax assessor's records date the addition of a sun room and corresponding L-shaped addition at the rear of the building to 1981. (1992 Sheet 6; 1929 Sheet 8; 1946 Sheet 8). The shotgun style house located on this property does not appear in the 1946 or earlier Sanborn maps.
