Architectural History
According to the NRHP, “420 North Third Street, Hamilton Richmond House, ca. 1869. This 2-story, 3-bay, brick house has been significantly altered with the addition of a 2-story portico across the front elevation and a 1-story side addition. On the first floor, the 3-bay facade features the main entrance in the south bay and a tall double-hung window in each of the other bays. The main entrance is composed of a single door recessed into a paneled rectangular opening and surrounded by a rectangular transom and sidelights. The windows have early or original 4/4 sash.
The second floor of the facade has the same fenestration pattern as the first floor. A small balcony in front of the second floor doorway has a metal balcony. Both the windows and doors on the facade are set into molded frames. The 2-story portico has full height square wood columns and a gable roof. The side addition is brick and has a flat roof. On the facade of the addition, which is set in line with the facade of the main part of the house, there is a door on the north end and a 3-sided bay window with a hip roof on the south end. A wood railing surrounds the roof of the addition. There are several frame rear additions including an attached 2-car garage.”
