607 N.E. 15th Street
607 is a fine white painted brick English Tudor country style house. It has two overlapping gables in front, high pitched with half timbering on parts of the upper floor, a massive chimney off center front and a dominant dormer window on the east. Most striking are the rusticated brick projections, a brick layer's masterpiece! There is a fine six foot pieced brick fence, enclosing the west yard and extending down Lincoln Boulevard to the north. Raybourn Smizer built this house.
