Regarding Duplex. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
This two story fourbay, brick veneered duplex, built sometime between 1938 and 1941, has two two-story wings at the west-southwest and west-northwest corners which intersect what is basically a large, gabled, T-shaped main block. A flat roofed entrance porch supported by four square posts stretches across the two recessed entrances, each of which is flanked by narrow hall windows. Eight-over-eight double hung sash occupy the first and second story bays on the wings and two six-over-six double hung sash are located above the doors. Two large double shoulder, stepped chimneys are located on both the north and south elevations. A large two-bay two-story wing extends to the rear and is flanked by one story shed roofed screened porches.
