1803 Waughtown Street, House, c.1945

A one-story front-gabled Minimal Traditional with German siding; three-over-one windows; and a gabled porch with plain posts. 1940 CD: not listed; 1950 CD: Herbert Pegram (W), owner occupant, a driver for Pilot Freight Carrier.

Minimal Traditional style (1935-1955) – A small one-story house that usually includes a gabled roof with little to no eave overhang and double-hung windows. Designed with minimal architectural details, this house form was the foundation for rapid home construction across the country pre-WWII through the post-war years. Its lower cost and quick turnaround helped fuel a boom in home ownership. As a bonus, elements from other styles could be added for variety.

German Siding – A type of horizontal wall cladding in which each board has a concave upper edge that fits into the corresponding groove in the lower edge of the board above. It presents a flat surface. (Also called Dutch lap.)
