837 4th Avenue

Built in 1909, this foursquare house type incorporates Neoclassical features within its symmetrical façade. Doric columns on paneled posts and original iron balustrades surround the wide one-story front porch. Many windows feature leaded glass transoms, and all windows are accented by stone sills and lintels. The two-story bowed bay on the east side adds distinction. The interior of the home maintains much of its original character, including wood paneled doors, carved moldings, and oak fireplace. Beautiful stained glass windows enhance and illuminate the stairway.

This two-story house, although larger in scale, is related in style to the adjacent one-story bungalows. This home, along with those at 825, 829, and 833 4th Avenue, was built by Emil Maeser, an employee of architect Edward Liljenberg, and the National Real Estate Company. William T. Atkin, associated with the National Real Estate Company and owner of Home Insulation Company, was the first resident of this home, living here until 1927.
