3207 Winter Street

Previously called Spencer Terrace

“This entire block, both north and south sides, was bui1t as a single development of doubles…by the same developer of Summer Street. The two-and-one-half story Queen Anne-style houses are red brick with a pressed brick horizontal band at the second-floor windows; this detail has been masked by alterations to the brickwork in Numbers 3203 and 3205-07. The houses have front and side projecting gables, some with their original wood brackets, and shingles, and multi-light windows. Original wood porches have received either minor or major alterations. Corner houses have been demolished. --- Contributing”

(Inventory of Buildings in Powelton from the application submitted to the National Register of Historic Places, 1985)

These houses were developed by Herman Wendell and Walter Bassett Smith.
