Regarding C. C. Grindell House. Contributing Property, Division Street Historic District, National Register of Historic Places #07000709.
From the National Register Nomination:
The highly intact C. C. Grindell House (1904-1905) is a typical example of the American Foursquare and it is also one of only two examples in the District that is built of brick. The two-story Grindell House has a square plan, cut stone foundation walls, and exterior walls that are clad in dark brown brick and that are sheltered by a hipped roof that has overhanging boxed eaves. A small gable-roofed dormer is centered on each of the four slopes of this roof and all four dormers feature a paired window group. The main facade of the house is symmetrical in design and faces south onto Division St. and its first story is sheltered by a full-width open front porch. This facade is three-bays-wide and the main entrance is placed in the first story of the center bay and it is flanked on either side by a pair of tall groupedwindows that occupy the first stories of the other two bays. These two side bays also have a single window in their second stories and all the house's windows and doors have rectilinear openings and concrete sills and lintels.Photographed By Cosmos Mariner, September 10, 20232.

The land that the district is now on was once known as Henry's Addition, platted in 1858. Only four houses were built there until the 1890s, when Platteville's mining industry surged. Most of the houses that are still there were built between 1894 and 1908 - mostly Queen Anne style and American Foursquare.(Submitted on December 19, 2023, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
