424 East Sprague Street, The Z. Taylor and Katherine Bynum House, c.1925

Samuel L. Spach, who established a number of Southside businesses, and his wife Victoria gave three lots to their daughter Katherine and son-in-law, Z. Taylor Bynum, in 1920. The Bynums soon erected this grand Dutch Colonial which features a modillion cornice that extends across the facade above the first floor, wraps around the front porch that is supported by robust Tuscan columns, and ornaments the enclosed sun porch.

A two-story gambrel-roof Dutch Colonial Revival with six-over-one paired, replacement windows; an 18 light front door with sidelights; a porch that formerly included a roof balustrade (now gone); projecting dormers under a single shed-roof; and an enclosed side porch with another 18 light door that is paired with 18 light sidelights. The lower level is clad in weatherboard, the upper level, wood shingles. 1925 CD: Taylor and Katherine Bynum, Jr. (W), Southside Grocery Company; 1935 CD: ditto, Southside Roller Mills; 1945 CD: ditto, owner-occupant; 1954 CD: Zackery Bynum (W), owner-occupant.

Dutch Colonial Revival style (1880-1955) – Only about 10% of Colonial Revival style houses have a gambrel roof. Most are one-story with steeply pitched gambrels containing almost a second full story of floor space; these 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.
