205 NORTH ST 

This house is a front-gable bungalow built around 1925 with Craftsman style elements, such as the jerkinhead gable and eave brackets. The property was owned by A.J. Dukes, who lived in a mansion at the corner of W. Oak Street and North Street. After Mr. Dukes death in 1921, ownership of this property passed to his daughter, Roberta Dukes Richardson. Mrs. Richardson had already demolished the mansion on Oak Street and used the materials for three smaller houses, two of which were rental homes. 

Around 1925, a new bungalow was built at 205 North Street to replace a house that was previously on the lot. Architecturally, this bungalow resembles the other Craftsman style houses built by the Richardson family on Oak Street. Some of the original character-defining architectural elements of the bungalow have been altered, but the house retains the form of a Craftsman influenced residence. This bungalow and its cousins reflect the character and development of the W. Oak Street neighborhood in the 1920s. 

This house is a registered Mansfield Historic Landmark.
