155 Harmon

1935; ca. 1950; 1980s

Set well back from the street, this two-story frame house is composed of a primary rectangle with two smaller additions. It has asbestos-shingle siding and a broad, side-gable roof whose rear slope is longer than the front slope. The three-bay façade has a glass- and wood-paneled door at the south end, and six-over-six sash windows in the other two bays, with second-story windows aligned above those on the first. A screened porch with a shed roof is attached to the south end of the house and abuts the front of a one-and-a-half-story wing – likely a ca. 1950 addition – that extends southward from near the rear of the south side of the two-story main block of the house. A tall gabled wing, attached to the rear of the house, was added more recently, probably in the 1980s. The original owner of the house is not certain. Prior to 1947, the property changed hands many times. Carl and Annie Marshall lived here from 1947 to 1960, when they built the house next door at 147 Harmon Avenue and moved there. Carl Marshall was a foreman at R. J. Reynold Tobacco. (TR, CD, HOC)
