Regarding Game-Himrod House. Excerpt from the National
this page online
The Game-Himrod House, c. 1870, is one of two houses which are 1½ stories tall of brick construction with a gable roof with the ridge running parallel to the street and a gabled wall dormer centered in the five bay facade. The windows are 1/1 light double hung with plain cut stone lug sills and lintels. The window in the front gable has a round brick arch; those in the side gables have flat arches. This house and the other example of this type both have an early 20th c. three bay porch centered on the facade. The gabled dormer gives the impression of some Gothic Revival Influence in the design.
