EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The owner of the property,Jan Krucky,is initiating this request for Local Landmark designation for
the Burnett/Killgore House and "Outhouse". The building and structure are significant for their
architectural importance,as representative examples of vemacular-residential architecture typical of
the turn of the century.
History - The wood frame horny built in circa 1900,is significant as a representative example of
vernacular residential architecture,with Queen Anne elements. Character defining elements include
an intersecting gable roof,with decorative shingles in the gable ends;the shed roof front porch,with
an offset entry highlighted by a small gable roof; the narrow horizontal wood siding; vertically
oriented fenestration;and boxed eaves and returns. A bay window was added to the south elevation
in 1997. At the same time, a sliding glass door was added to the rear mudroom, converting it into
additional living space. An unpainted wooden shed roof structure,originally an outhouse or possibly
a small storage building, dates from the period of significance and contributes to the architectural
importance of the property. -171
