Gabled-Ell
The gabled-ell house type, which appears
with great frequency in Morgan County, consists of a gable-front house with
a side extension known as a
wing or
ell. The overall plan is
that of an L.
Gabled-ell houses can be one,
one-and-one-half, or two stories in height. In all cases the ell—the side
extension--is integral to the gable-front portion of the house.
Gabled-ell: House

This appears to be a vernacular house that
was later spruced up with an
Italianate bay window on the west wall
and
Eastlake front and side porches.
Gabled-ell: House, 389 South Ohio Street.
Built about 1870, this
vernacular house has a bay window, arched door and arched windows and
shutters influenced by the
Italianate style. The front porch is
Eastlake in design.
