STRUCTURE: Building
3
LOCATION: Bay View Home
USE: Residence
SIZE: Approx. 3700 sq. ft. OWNERSHIP: State
DATE OF STRUCTURE: 1916
DESCRIPTION:
The structure is a frame building of single wall construction. The plan is generally
symmetrical: A main section with a veranda is flanked by two smaller wings to
the north and south, and a third wing to the east (rear). The dominant architectural
feature of the building is the combination of intersecting hip roofs, all with
louvered gablets for ridges. Another louvered gable projects from the roof directly
above the main entrance to the building. The veranda which is recessed under
the main roof is bore
ered 'y a diamond-patterned railing and chamfered posts with jigsawn bracket
ing. The foundation consists of concrete piers. Concrete steps with concrete
and wood railin.s serve as the ma'or entrance to the building. A wood ram replacing
the concrete steps on the south side of the structure has made access to the
building easier. The walls consist of vertical plank siding. Windows are usually
double hung, twelve light. The building is connected to Building 2 and 5 by
a covered walkway which is an extension of the veranda. The structure is in
poor condition. The building should be fumigated, and termite and rot damage
repaired. The foundations should be rebuilt. The structure should be painted,
and eventually re-roofed with the original wood shingles. For more detailed
description of work needed, see cost estimated sheets.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Part of Bay View Home, formerly for the elderly and blind patients. Now for
male patients. Architectually the building is the mirror plan of Building 2,
and has the same significance.
