HOUSE
c. 1950
This one-story, side-gabled house is four bays wide and double-pile with a front-gabled wing on the right on the (west) elevation that projects beyond the facade. The house has a stuccoed foundation, German-profile weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, partial cornice returns, and an interior brick chimney. The nine-light-over-three-panel door is sheltered by a three-bay-wide, shed-roofed porch that abuts the front-gabled wing. The porch is supported by square columns. A shed-roofed screened porch on the right elevation has square posts above a weatherboarded knee wall. A shed-roofed wing extends from the left rear (southeast). While the house does not appear on the 1949 Sanborn maps, it is typical of the scale of post-World War II architecture and was likely constructed soon after.

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