south elevation

Digital image of DeTurk House from original photographic print showing south elevation. Brick oculus, currently blind, was probably originally a vent for the granary/storage attic. Gabled hood above the 2d floor loading door is presumed to be the original form. Other details include: horizontal plate-ties at eaves line, outlooker remnants and masonry pockets indicate supports for pent roofs and possibly a loading-door platform. White paneled entry door replaced original Dutch door, now returned to the Trust and preserved as an exhibit. Original HABS caption for the image is as follows: "Historic American Buildings Survey, Cervin Robinson, Photographer August 1958 SOUTHWEST (FRONT) ELEVATION." L. Ward, 2009; updated September 2021,
