Whenthoff residence

This house at 1142 South College Avenue, built in 1935 for William D. Whenthoff, was designed in the streamlined ship style with two-stories of brick laid over tile blocks and painted to look like stucco. A second story balcony serves as a canopy for the entry and wraps around the house. Its triple railing creates the illusion of a ship’s bridge with an exterior ladder running from the second floor to the flat roof. There are two porthole windows, one on the first floor by the entry and the other above the second floor entry.
