HOUSE
c. 1905
Set back from the road, this two-story, Queen Anne-style house features a steeply pitched hipped roof. The building is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, nine-over-one-wood-sash windows, circular sawnwork gable vent, and two interior brick chimneys. The six-panel door, centered on the façade, has a four-light transom and a classical surround with wide entablature and is accessed by an uncovered brick stoop. There is a gable centered over the right (east) two bays of the façade and on the left (west) elevation. A large, one-story, side-gabled porch on the left elevation is supported by square posts on a weatherboard-covered knee wall and is enclosed with screens. There is a one-story gabled ell projecting from the right rear (northeast). County tax records date the building to 1905 and the house appears on the 1915 Sanborn map, the earliest to record this part of Rosemary Street.

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