Notable features are the gambrel roof <br /> extendinu down over the second level, the porch with simple brackets, shingled <br /> brackets at the overhanging ends, and leaded glass sidelights at the doorway. <br /> A nearly identical building found on Forest Street, second from the corner of <br /> Clarke Street, may have been built by the same builder/speculator. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state <br /> history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) <br /> One of at least four houses built speculatively in the Upland Road area <br /> by Abr,m C. t°]ashburn, Lexington's most prolific late nineteenth and early <br /> twentieth century builder (see 4 Glen Road form for more information on <br /> Washburn) . The house was bought from Washburn by Fred and Alice Cloyes. Mr. <br /> Cloyes was a salesman. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
