Nathan George and Esther Lauretta Ford Clark House - 268 West State

"Built in 1899, this one and a half story brick residence provides the district's earliest example of the Victorian plan type consisting of a central block with projecting bays. Comprised of a large rectangular block, the plan is articulated by the extension of bays on the front and sides of the house. The frontal or southern projecting bay features a gable roof and recessed, rounded corners where rock-faced brick is employed. The bay's large fixed window with transom features an elliptical brick head as do all original window openings. The majority of original windows, which are one-over-one double hung, remain in place. The main entry, which is covered by an assembly dating to ca. 1940, has been veneered with flagstone dating to ca. 1960. The remainder of the house is covered by a roof which combines gables, hips, truncated hips, and hip-roof dormers. These are ornamented with a wide frieze and scroll-cut corner brackets on the west bay. The interior of the building retains a majority of original finishes including door and window casings, doors, and a decorative fireplace embellished by a ceramic tile hearth and surround. This is framed by a wood mantel supported by square wooden piers on each side."
