DEWITT NEVILLE HOUSE

NR nomination: One-story frame dwelling with front-gabled roof and porch. Craftsman style features include triangular knee braces, exposed roof rafter ends, paired three-over-one windows and bungalow porch supports.

In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.

The three-light-over-one-panel Craftsman-style door is sheltered by a two-bay-wide, front-gabled porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers. A one-bay-deep, gabled wing at the left rear (southeast) has narrower weatherboards. A gabled wing projects from the rear of that wing.
