The
Day House - 614 South Ave.
|
|||||
|
This house was built in 1875 by
George Sale Day. A former councilman and mayor of Springfield, Day began his
career in Springfield as a mason and brick manufacturer. He also engaged in
the grocery business. The house, solidly built of local brick, is a central
hall plan capped with a Mansard roof. The porch is ornamented with jigsaw
work, and the entrance retains the original hand blown glass windows. Mr.
Day deeded the property to his wife, Theresa, for "Love and other Considerations"
and after her death it was sold to the McCluer family, who retained title
until 1943. The present owner of the structure is Richard P. Stahl, A.I.A.
Mr. Stahl uses the building for his offices, and takes pride in maintaining
its exterior in its original state. Architectural Style: eclectic, combining
elements of Georgian and French empire, with Victorian jigsaw trim. Approved: 1/8/73 |
