[4 images constitute this set] The apartment building at 1113 Franklin Road in Roanoke, Virginia was built circa 1920, according to the Southwest Historic District nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places. Constructed of brick in stretcher bond, the structure is capped by a mansard roof; I wonder if the building would be classified as Second Empire architectural style. The 3-story narrow porch is framed by brick columns, each level differing from the others. The first is the entry, approached by cement steps, the wooden door flanked by not-so-tall elements of raised brick. The door itself has 9 lights in the upper portion over a recessed rectangular panel. Level two of the porch still framed by brick columns, consists of raised brick the width of the porch with vertical openings in the brick. The third level is described as a wrought-iron porch in the nomination form; it has obviously been replaced by some decorative brickwork. My architectural knowledge is quite deficient at this point. The front elevation has 3 dormer windows in the slate covered mansard roof. It appears as if the building has a raised basement, probably also with apartments. The Southwest Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 19, 1985 with ID #85001349. Information was derived from the nomination form, which can be found in pdf format at www.dhr.virginia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/128-0049_...
