1109 3rd Street
Exterior Residential Paint
Built: c. 1890

This home was occupied by its original owners until 1977 when its current owners purchase the property. Its simply Queen Anne architectural style features patterned fish scale shingles between the second story and attic level across the front gable, a triangualr pediment entry, symmetrical single-pane windows, clapboard siding and a cross-gabled roof.

The current owners replaced 1950s-era aluminum windows on the first floor with traditional wood windows, with the second floor scheduled for upcoming replacement. The original clapboard siding was repained in a combination of stone quarry blue on the body, Egyptian Pyramid Blue on the trim, and and fish scale shingles, and contrasting pale wheat cream on the eaves and corners.
