HOUSE
c. 1930, c. 2011
This two-story, front-gabled, three-bay-wide, Colonial Revival-style house is clad in weatherboards and features a steeply pitched, wood-shingled roof with an interior brick chimney. The house has six-over-six wood-sash windows throughout with two-paneled shutters on the façade. The six-paneled front door on the right (north) end of the façade is recessed in an arched, inset entryway. The second floor of the façade features three six-over-six windows below a narrow arched vent at the attic level. To the right of the entrance, a cat-slide roof continues beyond the right elevation as a weatherboard-covered wall screening the side yard. The right and left elevations each feature full-depth, shed-roofed dormers with paired six-over-six windows. At the left rear (southwest) corner, paired columns support an inset porch that is two bays wide and accessed by sets of paired ten-light French doors and a second single door. The inset porch and shed-roofed dormer continue across a two-story gabled ell at the left rear. A two-story gable-on-hip-roofed wing projects from the right elevation of the rear ell. According to Sanborn maps, the house was constructed between 1925 and 1932. Ariel photos indicate that the rear wings were added after 2010.

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