HOUSE
c. 1932
This two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, eight-over-eight wood-sash windows, and an exterior brick chimney in the left (west) gable end. The six-panel door has four-light-over-one-panel sidelights and a blind fanlight and is sheltered by a front-gabled porch on grouped square columns with an arched ceiling. A one-story, shed-roofed porch on the left elevation is supported by square columns and accessed by a fifteen-light French door. The porch had been enclosed with screens by 1974, but was re-opened by 1992. A one-story, hip-roofed porch at the rear (north) has been enclosed with screens. A loose stone walk extends across the front of the property at the sidewalk. County tax records date the building to 1932 and while it does not appear on the 1932 Sanborn map, the house does appear on the 1949 map.

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