Describe any noteworthy architectural features: <br />806 Leland Avenue is a two and a half story Queen Anne Victorian built in <br />1894. It has a finished attic with windows and a central chimney. The <br />exterior of the house has a wide and deep front porch decorated with <br />elaborate fretwork and two groups of three carved, fluted square columns on <br />brick piers. The porch has a coffered front pediment and balustrade. The <br />house has double hung windows with molded entablatures. The original front <br />and back doors survive and are carved with dentils and coffers and have <br />upper window panels. <br />The interior of the house is mostly intact, although some alterations were <br />made, probably in the 1950s, when the house was turned into two <br />apartments. Those alterations have been reversed as of 2016. The interior <br />features 12 foot ceilings, the original fireplace which preserves its carved <br />wooden mantel with columns, tile work and metal built-in surround. There <br />are solid pocket doors, hard wood floors, and the house has many of its <br />original solid wood coffered doors and orientalizing hardware. In addition, an <br />elaborate foyer with a stairwell featuring delicately carved spindles and <br />paneling, as well as 2 built-in wooden seats, with lids which lift for storage, <br />mark the house as architecturally significant. <br />Nomination submitted by: Joan Downs-Krostenko Date: April 17, 2016 <br />Signature: )V-O� OQU3r•d - A,ed k'" to <br />4 <br />
