Daniel Johnson House, 99 Lovely Street

Daniel Johnson House c.1849. Vernacular Folk Victorian style. This house has wood shingle siding and decorative bargeboard facia adorning its entire roof’s perimeter edges. These gingerbread like cut out designs and the use of shingles for siding, give this home a cottage like appearance. These cutout designs also give the house the Gingerbread appearance of the Carpenter Gothic and Shingle styles of architecture. Wood columns and pilasters hold a roof over the front entry porch. The newer 6 lite over 6 lite double hung windows are appropriate for this period of home. Daniel Johnson was one of the original founders of the Congregational Church in 1841. He was a mechanic and had a shop on Lovely St. In 1844, Johnson purchased the property. In 1849 Johnson took out a mortgage for the land "with buildings", dating the house to circa 1849.
