SCHEDULE “A"

 

REASON FOR THE DESIGNATION

 

The house was built by William Van Norman in 1848 and represents the tradition of his father, Isaac Van Norman, a late loyalist emigrant from the Pennsylvania area at the time following the American Revolution.

 

The building is of brick exterior with a low gabled roof with returned eaves.  The main entrance door is framed with a rectangular transom and sidelights.  Windows are a combination of 12 lite and 6 plus 1 lite units.  The side porch contains a classically detailed but simple pediment supported by slender, tapered wood columns.  The basic design is classic Revival with a Federal influence derived from the Post American Revolution Period, and is a fine example of our American Loyalist heritage.
