Edgewood-Park City

- Style: Eastlake/Queen Anne (c.1890)
  - Two story frame with aluminum siding wall covering. Front gable roof with asphalt shingle covering, louvered attic vents, knee braces. One story full front porch with square wood columns, beadwork, spandrels and sawn wood balustrade. Projecting one story side bays. All fenestration altered to one over one windows. Stuccoed foundation. Irregular plan. Altered and converted to apartments. This house was originally designed by George Barber and illustrated in Cottage Souvenir No. 2, where is was noted as the home of J. C. White. Apparently, alterations were made in the early twentieth century, after a fire destroyed much of the second story, resulting in an alteration of the roof system and the introduction of knee braces and other features not typical of Barber designs. At some point before H-1 designation, the structure was altered again, with windows changed and artificial siding added. It is not known when the building was converted to apartments.
