HOUSE
c. 1922, c. 2010
This two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house has been renovated, but retains its original form and fenestration. The house is three bays wide and double-pile with replacement fiber cement shingles, replacement windows, and a replacement standing-seam metal roof. It does retain original wood lintels over windows on the first-floor façade and an interior brick chimney. The six-panel door on the left (west) end of the façade has four-light-over-one-panel sidelights and is sheltered by an original front-gabled porch on narrow square columns with an arched ceiling. A two-story, hip-roofed porch on the right (east) elevation has been enclosed with full-height casement windows and French doors on the first floor and has replacement railings and screening on the second floor, which retains original square columns. A one-story, hip-roofed wing on the left elevation has been replaced with a one-story, side-gabled wing. The yard has been heavily landscaped with a stone patio and stone terracing at the rear (north). County tax records date the building to 1922 and it is present on the 1925 Sanborn map, the earliest map to cover this part of town.

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