ARCHITECTURAL INFLUENCES 1780-1970
Continued
20.	231? 229. 227 and 225 Ballentine Street - These four simple cottages
are probably the smallest and most modest structures in the community from the ante-bellum period. The one at 225 is most nearly original and shows a sensitivity to proportion and skillful workmanship in even the most humble of dwellings. All four probably looked exactly alike when built.
21. 107 Citizen - Blaize House - This charming house is the quintessence of the Queen Anne style and probably dates from 1885-1890. It is in a remarkably good state of preservation and with very little modification.
The octagonal rooms, round headed windows and shutters, the slate roof and the typical detail on the beach-side porch, all add up to an- excellent example.
22. Ill Citizen - Gibbens House - This unpretentious cottage is an excellent example of various influences from different periods, blended well together and all being quite well preserved. The original house appears to be very simple Greek Revival but the paired front porch columns and the wood arches were probably installed at the turn of the century. Several other houses in the same vicinity have used the same wood arches (reportedly salvaged from a building demolished at St. Stanislaus) but none so well done as at this house.
23-	115	Citizen	Street	-	Old Rudolph Place - This almost primitive
little house is probably from the 1850 to i860 period and was originally three rooms wide and one room deep - one of very few houses left of what was probably once a common floor plan.
