John & Elizabeth Watterworth Residence

German and Lignell decorated the Watterworth’s American Four Square home with hipped dormers sporting flared eaves, modillions, and pilasters setting off its three attic windows. John Watterworth—a contractor and partner in the rm of Watterworth & Fee—used his own rm to build the house. Three years later he moved his family into an almost identical home his company built at 2505 East Second Street. It cost him $1,000 more than the first.
