Research Narrative
Landmark Context
King-Nash House is located at 3234 W Washington Blvd in the city's landmark record. The designation record holds onto a construction date of 1901 and credits George W. Maher. It was designated on February 10, 1988. King-Nash House turns into a workable research subject once domestic design, residential development, and block-by-block neighborhood change are kept in view together.
King-Nash House becomes easier to read on site when attention turns to lot width, setbacks, porches, bays, and rooflines, the rhythm between neighboring houses, and alterations that show changing domestic use. Those observations help show how one domestic building can still clarify the growth of an entire residential block.
Research Starting Points
King-Nash House opens next into real-estate atlases and fire insurance maps, permit files and census or directory material, and historic photographs and neighborhood histories. That source trail is often the best way to move from designation summary to a fuller building history.
King-Nash House is already usable now without pretending the historical work is finished.
