Description

Photograph of Charles H. Lorenz's residence on Griffin Avenue as viewed from across the street. Griffin Avenue stretches on an upward angle across the foreground from left to right. The Lorenz residence stands on the far side of the street, left-of-center, in the near distance. The bungalow-style house was built by Francis M. Ambrose and formerly occupied by Louise Ambrose. It is viewed at an angle from the front and left side; it faces towards the right. A gable sits over the front porch on the right side of the front of the house. A dormer and a bay window sit along the left side of the home. Neighboring houses stand on either side, lining Griffin Avenue.
