The Howard Ball House is a single-family home located at 1411 West St. Andrews Street in Midland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]

History

Howard Ball was an employee in the sales department at Dow Chemical Company. In 1935, he purchased a lot in a newly developed area at one end of the local golf course. Ball hired architect Alden B. Dow (his cousin)[2] to design this house, and contractor W.R. Collinson to build it. Construction began in the summer of 1935, and was completed the next year. An addition was constructed in 1938.[3]

Description

The Howard Ball House is a split level unit block structure, made from several rectangular elements pieced together. A corner of the living room, containing tall windows with prominent wooden mullions, projects outward toward the street. The remainder of the front of the house is a broad stucco wall, beyond which is another window grouping set behind the main elevation. Wooden fascia extends horizontally beyond the house into the carport and onto a separate garage. The garage, although a separate structure, is stylistically and visually tied to the house. A narrow window course sits above the main level at the rear of the house, an is part of the addition.[3]
