HOUSE
c. 1952, c. 1965
This one-and-a-half-story, Minimal Traditional-style house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, eight-over-eight wood-sash windows, paired six-over-six windows in the gables, and an interior brick chimney. The four-light-over-four-panel door is centered on the façade and a dentil cornice spans the façade. There is a shed-roofed dormer on the rear (south) elevation and a one-story, gabled porch on the right (west) elevation, flush with the façade, was enclosed between 1960 and 1974; it connects to a side-gabled garage with breezeway between the garage and the house. The garage features a six-light-over-eighteen-panel overhead door. County tax records date the building to 1952.

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