HOUSE
c. 1980
Constructed on the site of an earlier one-story structure that was moved to 303 Henderson Street in 1977, this two-story, hip-roofed Colonial Revival-style house is three bays wide and double-pile. It has plain weatherboards, vinyl windows, a one-story, projecting bay on the left (west) elevation, and an interior brick chimney. The six-panel door on the right (east) end of the façade has three-light-over-one-panel sidelights and a six-light transom. It is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by square columns that wraps around the right end of the façade, terminating at a two-story, hip-roofed addition that projects from the right elevation. This addition is two bays wide with an exterior brick chimney on the right elevation. A two-story, gabled ell at the rear connects to a large, two-story, hip-roofed wing that extends beyond the left elevation. The rear gabled wing has vinyl windows and an inset entrance bay on its right (east) elevation. There is a one-story, hip-roofed entrance bay to the left of the rear ell and a one-story, gabled ell with a shed-roofed porch on square posts at the rear (north) of the rear hip-roofed wing. A low stone wall extends across the front of the property.

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