CARR-1608 1031 South Main Street, Hampstead

Summary:

The bungalow at 1031 South Main Street in Hampstead is an excellent example of the type. Bungalows are commonly found in frame than in brick, as with this example, and never became common in Carroll County the way they did in and around Baltimore City. While the overall mossing of the house is controlled by the dominant long gable roof, which incorporates the ubiquitous front porch, various projects work to mediate with the gable roof In this example, the front and rear dormers are not the only projections. Bay windows on either side also add variety, either destroying the overall composition, or adding interest to it, depending on one's bias. The bold stonework of the front porch creates the feeling that the building is rooted to its spot, some irresistible force as if nature had thrust it up out of the ground. It is an unusual feature for Carroll County.

The bungalow at 1031 South Main Street in Hampstead is an excellent example of the type. Bungalows are commonly found in frame than in brick, as with this example, and never became common in Carroll County the way they did in and around Baltimore City. While the overall mossing of the house is controlled by the dominant long gable roof, which incorporates the ubiquitous front porch, various projects work to mediate with the gable roof In this example, the front and rear dormers are not the only projections. Bay windows on either side also add variety, either destroying the overall composition, or adding interest to it, depending on one's bias. The bold stonework of the front porch creates the feeling that the building is rooted to its spot, some irresistible force as if nature had thrust it up out of the ground. It is an unusual feature for Carroll County.

The lot on which this bungalow sits was vacant when it was purchased by Ethel Vollman in 1924, as can be seen in the Sanborn map for that year. Vollman was living in Baltimore City, but had moved to Carroll County with her husband by 1926, when they sold the property to John AD. Bush. There is no way to tell whether Vollman built the house, whether Bush did, or whether it was built after 1932, when the property was sold to John M. Bush. In any case, the house and garage were standing by 1945, according to the Sanborn map updates from that time, and the house had probably been built by 193 5. The Bush family retained the property until 1949.
