335 Cascade Avenue, Lolien Saunders House, 1921

A weatherboarded gambrel-roofed frame house with a large shed dormer in the front. The front first story features four grouped nine-over-nine windows and a small engaged shed hood over the recessed entrance porch. There is a one-story sunroom wing on the west elevation.The original rear shed dormer has been raised a story to expand the attic living space.

Mrs. Saunders appears to have been the widow of Mr. Hazel M. Saunders. They had previously lived on Spruce Street, but she moved here around 1921. By 1937, this was the home of Chas A. Swainey (Mary) who owned Swainey's Drug Store in the corner section of 301 Acadia Avenue (later Crown Drugs, see first entry).

Dutch Colonial Revival style (1880 -1955) – Around 10% of Colonial Revival style houses have a gambrel roof. Most are one-story with gambrels containing almost a second full story of floor space, and generally have either separate dormer windows or a continuous shed dormer with several windows. A full-width porch may be included under the main roof line or added with a separate roof. Today’s style is only loosely based on original Dutch Colonial prototypes.
