HOUSE
c. 1900, 2014
This two-story, hip-roofed, Colonial Revival-style house is three bays wide and double-pile with a stuccoed foundation, plain weatherboards, a wide fascia, one-over-one replacement windows, and two interior brick chimneys. The house has a wide, six-panel door with leaded-glass-over-one-panel sidelights and an arched leaded-glass transom. It is sheltered by a full-width, hip-roofed porch supported by columns, which are paired at the entrance to the porch. There is a hip-roofed dormer centered on the façade and rear elevation and a one-story, hip-roofed projecting bay on the left (west) elevation that has original six-over-six wood-sash windows. There is a one-story, hip-roofed wing at the right rear (northeast) and a newly constructed, two-story, hip-roofed wing at the left rear (northwest) with a one-story hip-roofed wing on its left and rear elevations. There is a low stone wall across the front of the property and at the driveway to the left of the house. County tax records date the building to 1900. The house appears on the 1915 Sanborn map, the earliest to record this part of Rosemary Street. The rear addition was completed in 2014.

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