STACY-CAIN HOUSE
c. 1912
This two-story, hip-roofed house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, a wide fascia and deep eaves, one-over-one wood-sash windows, and two interior stuccoed chimneys. The entrance, located on the right (east) end of the façade has a one-light-over-five-panel door. It is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch on square columns that extends the full width of the façade and wraps round the right elevation. A hip-roofed dormer centered on the façade has a double-hung window with decorative upper sash. There is a projecting, hip-roofed bay on the left (west) elevation. A one-story, hip-roofed wing at the rear (north) has six-over-six windows, two interior brick chimneys, and an inset entrance on the right elevation. A low stone wall extends across the front and right sides of the property. According to a plaque on the house, it is the c. 1912 Stacy Cain House. Sanborn maps confirm its presence by 1915.

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

c. 1990
Hip-roofed, two-car garage with plain weatherboards, one-over-one windows, exposed rafter tails, and two overhead doors on the east elevation. In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
