Patrick, Woodson and Margaret, House

Built about 1880, this one-story wood frame house at 211 E. 5th Street in Georgetown follows a vernacular U plan, a layout the survey describes as unusual for a late nineteenth century dwelling. The walls are board and batten under a gable roof with a return cornice. Two interior chimneys and one exterior brick chimney with a corbeled cap rise above the house. Windows are wood sash, double-hung, with four-over-four lights, and the entry door has a double light with arched tops. A three-bay porch with a shed roof, wood posts and simple wooden rails shelters the south elevation. A one-room detached kitchen sits northwest of the house. The neighborhood northeast of downtown consists mostly of early twentieth century homes. The house was recognized chiefly for its architecture and for the small number of exterior changes since construction. It remained in the hands of the original family's descendants, and the property is currently vacant but in good condition.
