Frame Vernacular Twenty-four of the forty-four vernacular buildings in the district are residences. The remainder are small outbuildings. A good example of late nineteenth century vernacular construction is the residence at 225 West Garden Street. The building has a front-facing gable roof surfaced with metal 3-V crimp panels. Windows are 2/2-light double-hung sash. A tiered porch integrated under the primary roof displays turned wood posts, brackets, and balustrades on the second story and square wood columns with balustrades on the first floor. The lower porch shelters a paneled wood entrance door with a large transom. The gable end features patterned wood shingles and a hopper window set in a decorative surround. Clapboard serves as the exterior wall fabric. Another excellent example of vernacular construction is the residence at 294 N. Lakeview Avenue, built c. 1885. The simple frame building has a two-story porch across the facade, a metal gable roof, and 2/2 light, double hung windows. Historic photographs reveal that the roof originally featured a central gable.
