HOUSE
c. 1982, c. 1995
Constructed as a side-gabled Ranch house, this house was significantly altered with the addition of wings, dormers, and a front porch. The one-story, side-gabled house is five bays wide and double-pile with a one-and-a-half-story, side-gabled garage wing on the left (west) elevation. The house has a brick veneer, six-over-nine wood-sash windows, and six-over-six windows in the pedimented, wood-sided dormers. The six-panel door is sheltered by a front-gabled porch supported by paneled square columns. There is a wide, shed-roofed dormer across the rear that extends nearly the full width of the house and one-and-a-half-story wing. A gabled ell at the left rear (northwest) has a projecting, one-story bay and a gabled dormer on its left elevation. A one-story, shed-roofed addition extends across the right rear (northeast). County tax records date the house to 1982. The front porch, dormers, and rear additions were completed since 1992.

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