Its floorplan and detailing sit between 19th- and 20th-century design, combining classical features with Craftsman-influenced built-ins and wood framing. It is described as one of Maywood's finest Foursquares.","narrative":"Built around 1902 by Caroline Grow on a Maywood lot her husband David purchased in 1875, this 2-1/2-story Foursquare faces west on North 6th Avenue. It rises over a raised basement, with clapboard siding, a hip roof, a central front dormer and a broad front porch carried on stone piers and slender Doric columns. Inside, an entrance hall leads to double parlors, a dining room with a nine-panel beamed ceiling, a butler's pantry and kitchen, with four bedrooms upstairs and a rear stair that suggests household help. The house was listed for its architecture. It is a typical post-1900 Foursquare that retains features carried over from the 19th century, including two parlors and a service stair. Classical details such as the laurel-swag fireplace and delicate moldings appear beside Craftsman-influenced built-in bookcases and wood framing. Its unusually intact condition sets it apart from other Foursquares in Maywood.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1902","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Foursquare","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition with excellent integrity; the kitchen has been remodeled and some rear interior alterations made, but the formal living spaces and historic detailing remain unaltered.
