The Shadinger-Leavell House is a c. Hipped Bungalow house type of frame construction. It is significant for its architecture as a representative example of a Hipped Bungalow house type. The resource is virtually intact on the exterior, and possesses many of the characteristics that typify this type of vernacular architecture. Description: The Shadinger-Leavell House is a one-story c. Hipped Bungalow. It is of frame construction with clapboard siding, and rests on a foundation of masonry piers. The resource possesses a hipped roof ~ith a central front dormer and one off-center corbelled chimney. It is also distinguished by an integral front porch that is supported by double or triple wooden posts that rest on brick piers.

Other architectural features typically associated with the bungalow house type include the four-over-one windows and exposed rafters. The panel and glass door in the front entrance also appears to be an original feature. Although the exterior of the resource appears virtually intact, the interior has been altered, and no longer possesses any distinguishing features or details. History: The Shadinger-Leavell House was constructed c. as the residence of Mr. Shadinger and his family. Mr. Shadinger purchased the land on which he was to construct his home in from Mr. Reese.
