Modern (Minimal Traditional) style house

Classification: Contributing. Historic Name: Camerlinck House. Architectural Style: Modern (Minimal Traditional). Construction Date: ca. 1951. Period 4 of Harry S Truman's Life: Attaining National Prominence, 1934-1953. Tax Identification: 26-310-20-15. Legal Description: McCauley Park Addition, block 1, lot 6, and part of lot 7. Description: Contributing one- and one-half story wood-frame dwelling with single-car garage attached on north side; irregular shape; steeply pitched gable roof with composition shingles; wide clapboard siding; eight-over-twelve double-hung sash windows framed by shutters; small slightly recessed porch on facade; concrete foundation. Lot with lawn and foundation shrubbery is slightly raised and slopes up to the rear. History/Significance: This Modern style house, built around 1951, stands on the site of the John G. Paxton home, reportedly designed by Adrian Van Brunt. John G. Paxton founded the Mary Paxton Study Club, whose members included Truman and Noland family members. Mary Paxton died in 1903, leaving five children: Mary, Frank, Elizabeth, Mathew, and Edward. Mary Paxton and Bess Wallace were girlhood friends, and supported each other in 1903 when each experienced the death of a parent (Bess's father and Mary's mother). The original Paxton gardens extended from the rear of the house to Union Street on the north [the original 2011 nomination form is incorrect here; the direction is actually west]. The Paxton home and gardens, now gone, were replaced with new homes. Bernard and Donna Camerlinck owned the early 1950s house at 614 North Delaware in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
