City's Ugliest Heritage Buildings

[Urban Shocker]

That last photo, with its strong horizontals, engulfed porch, and offset front door has a quasi-American Foursquare ( minus the dormer ) Prairie-School-derived look to it, with a bit of Arts & Crafts thrown in for good measure. Call it Canuck Foursquare? The first owner of my little 1908 semi moved to one on Riverdale Avenue when she flipped her $1,800 investment for $3,600 in 1921.

Catalog Craftsman? Looks like a Sears home that's lots its detailing.

Looks like a straightforward classic builder's bungalow of whatever teens/twenties period: the trickle-down effect of Prairie/Craftsman design. (IMO the swooping roof doesn't make it "foursquare" enough.)

As for Mathersfield, another thing that renders it relatively benign is that it was built upon a brownfield tabula rasa--now, if existing Rosedale houses were ripped down on behalf of Mathersfield Retro, it'd be a whole different matter.

Does anybody have a suggestion as to what style this is?
