Kiemnec & E. Straw <br />Participants <br />Description <br />Address <br />(52101) Quince Road <br />A brick Italianate farmhouse located on Quince Road adjacent to the Toll Road. <br />Only the east and south facades are visible from Quince Road (north facade <br />is obscured by trees). <br />Remarks <br />This house is continuing to deteriorate. The roofs are in very poor condition and <br />several of the windows are broken. <br />The roof over the main portion of the house has a large hole on the south side that <br />has been covered by corrugated sheet metal. A chimney near this section has <br />completely fallen down. The roof over the one story porch on the east facade is <br />beginning to collapse. Although the roofs are in bad condition, the cornice and <br />brackets, which appear to be of pressed tin, are in good condition. <br />Many of the windows have closed wooden shutters which are in a variety of stages of <br />deterioration. There are several broken windows and some appear to be boarded up <br />on the interior. The entrance on the east side has been barricaded by corrugated <br />sheet metal. <br />Although the roofs are in very bad condition, the house does appear to be sound. <br />The brick walls appear to be in very good condition with only a few areas requiring <br />tuck -pointing. <br />
