Gustav Rosentreter House, Colonial Revival Style Bungalow, circa 1925
This house is believed to have been originally constructed on the southeast corner of C Avenue and First Street, and then moved to this location in 1965.  The house has the characteristic massing of a Craftsman Style Bungalow including the low-pitched gable roof and deep eaves.  The house's architectural ornamentation, however, is commonly associated with the Colonial Revival Style, which overlapped and then eclipsed the more rustic Craftsman Style.  Note the pedimented cornice, reminiscent of a classical Greek temple, and the cornice embellished by the denticulated frieze and rakeboard, which are characteristically Colonial features.
