HOUSE
1986
This one-and-a-half-story, side-gabled house is four bays wide and double-pile with the left (east) bay recessed slightly under a lower roofline. The house has fiber-cement siding, twelve-over-twelve wood-sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. The six-panel door has vinyl sidelights and a vinyl transom and is accessed by an uncovered brick stoop. There is a shed-roofed dormer at the left rear (southeast) and a one-story, gabled ell at the right rear (southwest) adjacent to an inset bay on the right (west) elevation. A shed-roofed porch on the rear elevation is supported by square posts. There is a low stone wall at the sidewalk along Franklin Street. County tax records date the house to 1986.

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