Inventory Details
115 Maple Street, Wainwright-Smith-Cook House (circa 1860,
contributing) – This rectangular one-story frame building has extensive rear
additions. Circa 1900, workers moved the formerly detached kitchen and
servant’s quarters to connect with the rear of the house. A possible
construction date for its deck-roofed porch with chamfered and molded
columns and pierced-work wood railing is circa 1880.

The existing structures are new and non-contributing (built approximately in 2018). The proposed
accessory structure will be a metal framed, glass greenhouse that will be subordinate to and
compatible with the style of the main structure. It will be visible from the right-of-way, but will be
behind the front building line.
