198 N. Winooski Avenue This two-story, cross-gable house sits midway along the east side of North Winooski Avenue, past North Street. The house features one-over-one, double hung sash windows, vinyl siding, stone foundation, patterned slate roof with raking eaves, and small, central chimney. A small enclosed porch, housing the entrance, joins the gables. One addition is attached to the rear, one addition to the northerly facade, and two additions behind the side gable along the southerly facade. The shutters were most likely a later addition with the siding. The slate roof with raking eaves, stone foundation, and small, central chimney are all characteristic of the 1870s. The current windows and vinyl siding most likely have replaced the original two-over-two sashes and clapboards. The 1894 Sanborn map reveals an open porch and the rear addition. The 1900 Sanborn map reveals the northern addition and the first of the southern additions. The final addition appears on the 1978 Sanborn map. No information could be found regarding the original occupants. The first known occupant was most likely Charles E. Germain, a grocer at 160 N. Winooski Avenue.1 He resided here until around 1910.2 Mary Lowry lived with and worked for Charles from around 1881-1885.3 Show house on 1877 Birds-Eye Map
