This large stately, two-story, three-by-two bay gable-front house still has its original wooden clapboards. The windows are one-over-one double-hung sash, set in wooden frames, and the original entrance doorframe remains at the western bay of the front façade. A side porch extends from the front halfway down the southern side of the house, where it becomes enclosed.
In 1888-89, Joseph Kmetz appears in the Directory as living on Crowley Street. This information leads to 1888 as a probably construction date. In the following Directories, he is shown to have been employed by the City of Burlington and then been a gardener. The 1890 Directory shows Kmetz living at 3 Crowley Street with Joseph Kmetcings, himself working for S. Beach, a baker.1 Only Kmetz’s name appears on the 1890 Hopkins map for this structure.2 1Burlington City Directory, 1887-88; 1888-89; 1889-90; 1890.
