HOUSE
c. 1986
Constructed on a previously vacant lot, this one-and-a-half-story, side-gabled house is five bays wide and double-pile with three gabled dormers on the façade. The house has plain weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows with three-light transoms, and a wide fascia and dentil cornice at the roofline. It has six-over-six windows in the dormers, and an exterior brick chimney in the right (east) gable. The six-panel door, centered on the façade, has five-light sidelights and an eight-light transom. It is sheltered by a front-gabled porch supported by paired, turned posts. There is a projecting, cantilevered, canted bay on the left (west) elevation and two basement-level garage doors on that elevation. A one-story gabled wing projects from the rear (north) with an inset porch at its left rear (northwest) and a projecting, cantilevered, shed-roofed bay at its right rear (northeast). A low stone wall extends along the driveway on the left side of the property. County tax records date the house to 1986.

In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
