Beautiful Residence	Demoliton Process	Pile of Rubble

Architectural features: A raised Craftsman style residence of the mid 1920's. Slender box columns between end pillars support a distinguishing arch in the projecting pediment. Like many Craftsman style homes, the house has multi-light casement windows and an arched doorway. Projecting rafter ends on front and sides are another hallmark of the meticulous Craftsman style.

History: This house was built in 1925 for John H. Schoenhardt. The Schoenhardts appear to have lived in the house for 57 years. "Most impressively, they were the only family to ever have lived there." In 1981 it was purchased by the Carrollton Presbyterian Church. In 2002 it was sold to Stuart Hall School.

HDLC Staff report conclusion: (The HDLC staff gave this house a Gold rating which means that it is :important to the character of the area...it is important that examples of buildings in this classification be preserved as closely as possible to their orighinal form and character.")

"While this house is well detailed and possesses a distinct architectural style and interesting architectural elemets, it is not of sufficient quality or outstanding significance to qualify for landmark status on its architectural merits alone....However the staff would note that the area is currently under study to become a local historic district, and if that comes to fruition, this building would be rated gold for its architectural status, meaning it is important to the character of the area....If a particular section is to retain its present character, it is important that examples of buildings in this classification should be preserved as closely as possible to their original form and character."
