HOUSE
c. 1995
Set behind 710 East Franklin Street and accessed by a driveway just east of 704 East Franklin Street, this one-and-a-half-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and double-pile. It has fiber-cement siding, twelve-over-twelve windows on the first floor, six-over-six windows in the three gabled dormers on the façade, a standing-seam metal roof, and exterior brick chimneys in the gables. The six-panel door is centered on the façade and has one-light-over-one-panel sidelights. It is sheltered by a full-width, hip-roofed porch supported by grouped square posts with vertical wood sheathing on the façade under the porch roof. A gabled ell at the rear has an open porch at its rear (south) end. The house is noted as new construction in the 2002 survey.

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