HOUSE
c. 1849, 1920s
This two-story, Greek Revival-style, hip-roofed house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, vinyl windows throughout, and two interior brick chimneys. The house was likely updated in the 1920s with the installation of the four-light-over-two-panel Craftsman-style door, though original five-light sidelights and a double-leaf screened door remain, as well as the tapered wood columns on brick piers supporting the full-width, hip-roofed porch. A one-story, hip-roofed wing spans the rear (north) elevation and beyond it, a shed-roofed screened porch is supported by square posts. County tax records date the building to 1849.

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