Fort Sanders NC-1 and Individual H-1
    • Style: Queen Anne (c. 1889)
      • The massing and extant detailing of this Queen Anne house suggest it may be a design of Baumann and Baumann, which designed many house in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. The hip roof with lower cross gables, including on the front, was covered in asphalt shingles. Original 1/1 windows and doors were present throughout the house at the time of designation in 1999. The windows are paired on the second level above the front entry. A one-story front porch with a hipped roof has been enclosed on one side. The remaining two-thirds front porch is marked by square wood columns with Doric capitals. The foundation is brick, and an interior offset corbelled brick chimney appears on the rear of the house at the north side.
