HOUSE
c. 1977
An example of Chapel Hill’s modern late twentieth-century architecture, this two-story, hip-roofed house has a projecting, second-floor hip-roofed wing on the left (west) end of the façade. The house has a stuccoed foundation, plain weatherboards, one-light casement windows, including groups of casement windows on the second-floor façade, and an interior metal chimney. The entrance, located on the left elevation is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch on square posts. Beyond the entrance, projecting from the left elevation, is a large one-story, shed-roofed wing with a sunroof at its left end. A one-story, hip-roofed wing is obscured behind the shed-roofed wing. On the right (east) end of the façade is a one-story, shed-roofed bay with windows at the corner. The second-floor, projecting, hip-roofed wing has full-height, fixed windows on the façade. A second-floor bay also projects from the right elevation. County tax records date the building to 1977.
In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
