LYON HOUSE
1950s
One-story, frame house with aluminum replacement siding, a mixture of metal casement windows and eight-over-eight sash, gable roof, interior brick chimney, and a front entrance in the east side facing away from Ridge Lane. Original entrance faced Ridge Lane. The house has a south side addition. It was built for Mr. and Mrs. Lyon.

The house appears unaltered from the 1993 survey. The T-shaped house has a combination of eight-over-eight and six-over-six wood-sash windows with eight-light casement windows limited to the east wing. An addition to the south elevation features a wide gable that wraps around an earlier gabled wing. A gabled entrance porch on the east elevation has a door with classical surround and paired windows. County tax records date the building to 1952.

In the 2013 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.

The non-contributing status reflected in the database was assigned to the building as part of the 1993 National Register nomination. Were the NR nomination to be formally updated, the period of significance would likely be extended to include the construction of this property.
