Sherman Avenue 821 1919-20 This clapboard-clad bungalow is significant for its open porch sup- ported by tapered posts, gable end trim, and sash windows with divided upper lights. It is shown here between the bungalows at 817 and 825 Sherman Avenue. 825 1919-20 A projecting gable-roofed entry porch occupies much of the front facade of this bungalow. The bungalow retains its original clap- boards, and has sash windows with vertically-divided upper lights. The front porch has heavy square posts which rest on square piers, and a knee- bracket and wide vergeboards accent the gable ends. 856 1919-20 A tapered post A porch with multi-paned sash and tapered posts is a handsome feature of this hipped-roof design. The gabled dormer has exposed rafter ends. 7
