L. N. DANTZLER LUMBER COMPANY FAMILY HOUSES

-A A +A
c. 1880–1915. 3206 and 3301 Dantzler St. and 5005 Griffin St.

Three Queen Anne houses near the former L. N. Dantzler Lumber Company site display the architectural exuberance made possible by industrial lumber operations and the wealth of their lumber company owners. The two-story L. N. Dantzler Jr. House (1898–1899) at 3206 Dantzler is a George F. Barber design, published in his New Model Dwellings (1896). Roofs are stacked asymmetrically above lacy friezes and balustrades, spindly posts, and a porch with a semicircular corner and conical roof. The Alfred F. Dantzler House (1906; 5005 Griffin) has a long meandering porch terminated by a porte-cochere and circular corner. Family tradition has it that William Drago of New Orleans, who designed the c. 1915 addition, was the original architect. The simpler John Lewis Dantzler House (c. 1880; 3301 Dantzler) was built on a three-bay side-hall plan (later expanded) and ornamented with vergeboards and friezes. Nearby at 3218 Dantzler, the C. W. Jackson House (1895), with its octagonal tower, is as vigorous as L. N. Dantzler’s residence.
