When it comes to interesting structures, what Addison’s Jersey Street South lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. Tucked away in a depression bordering Hospital Creek is a former schoolhouse whose diminutive size is overpowered by both its non-original orange paint and some wonderful details.
Two elements dominate the dwelling’s exterior: the extensive use of Panton stone in the foundation AND walls, and the oversized windows on the north and east sides of the building. A below grade addition off the back feels right while a non original garage (not pictured) begs to be tied into the house in a more holistic manner. Overall, a very stylish surprise for a road dominated by family farms.
