Catholic Rectory

727 Main Avenue

Ivan Cobel had this home constructed in 1920. The date coincides with the construction of the First National Bank at 327 Main Avenue. Ivan served as cashier at the bank under president George Cobel. The home is an excellent embodiment of the Prairie style that emphasizes extending the basic bungalow with broad horizontal lines & accenting the vertical lines. Special exterior features of the home include thick battered piers & porch columns, exposed pulins & rafters, & the cladding combination of clapboard, brick & concrete.

St. Paul Episcopal Church Parsonage

This home owned by the Episcopal Church and used for offices, defies style definition. The rounded arches above the windows on the east side and the segmental arches in the facade suggest the Italianate style. The bricks are laid in Flemish bond-header (narrow end of brick) and then stretcher (long side of brick). A row of bricks was placed on end to create a belt course at the foundation line. The hipped roof with dormers and the door placed to the right of center are outside the Italianate framework. Most likely the owner or builder just constructed what pleased and functioned for the family.
