Erick and Charles Moodhe House

This handsome, Italianate style residence was constructed circa 1884. The two-story, frame house has a limestone foundation, clapboard siding with corner boards, and a hip roof with a brick chimney. The house retains its historical clapboard siding, one-over-one double-hung windows, and fixed leaded-glass windows. Its low-pitched roof with widely overhanging eaves with decorative brackets and tall and narrow windows with decorative wood surrounds are characteristics of the Italianate style. The house maintains its historic character by retaining its full-width, mansard roof front porch and other Italianate details. A two-story, hipped roof addition on the east elevation was constructed at the same time as the original building. The addition featured a one-story porch on the north elevation, which has been converted into a two-story deck that wraps the north and east elevations of the addition. According to the Washington County Tax Assessors Office, a garage was constructed in the rear yard in 2004. The one-story, hipped roof, clapboard-sided garage features a cupola on the peak of its roof. This house was built circa 1884 for Erick and Charles Moodhe. The 1887 city directory lists both men as plasterers. By 1890, the brothers had sold the property, and in 1956, Axel E. Johnson owned the house.
