740 Owen Street

In style, this house is transitional from the bungalow to the ranch house type. Built in about 1935, its exterior walls are mostly of Rostone, an artificial stone product manufactured in Lafayette and used on one of the “Century of Progress” World’s Fair Houses in Beverly Shores (Porter County, Indiana; NR listed). The side gable roof is covered in asphalt shingles. The small corner porch has wooden posts and trim. An attached garage, original to the house, is on the west side.
