Row Houses

1885, Horace W. Smith and Son. 94–106 Maple St., City of Burlington
  • (Photograph by Curtis B. Johnson, C. B. Johnson Photography)

This row of workers' houses was convenient to the rail yard and adjacent industrial area west of lower Maple Street. It features seven shed-roof entrance porches, two-over-two rectangular windows, bracketed eaves, shed dormers, and an outsized mansard roof clad in imbricated and clipped slates in red and gray. Each segment of the striking roof has a different design of alternating bands and geometric patterns. This polychromatic display was an apt advertisement for the work of its owner, contractor and slater Horace Smith, who lived next door.
