Welcome to 237 West State Street, built in 1912 as noted in the National Register of Historic Places. This two-story English Craftsman style residence, located in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District, was designed by architect Frederick Louis Roehrig and built by Louis Pomeroy. It sits on a raised berm on the north side of State Street with a primary side-gabled roof with open eaves, exposed rafter tails and wide, exposed roof rakes with extended purlins. There are a pair of two-story, front-facing bays at the east and west ends of the front elevation. The western bay has a shallow hipped roof with boxed eaves, a wood French door centered on the first level, and a ribbon of four six-pane wood casement windows. There is an applied trellis on this portion of the façade. The eastern bay is a square, through-cornice shed-roofed wall dormer with a ribbon of four wood casement windows at both the first and second levels. An inset entry porch between these two bays has a small flared shed roof and a brick pad; the skylight in the hallway floods the space with natural light; the single-leaf door is wood with twelve inset panels and a wooden screen door. There is a built-in wood bench on either side of the entry porch. Utilities have been off for an extended period of time and will not be activated for inspections.
