HOUSE
c. 1910
The earliest house on this block of Rosemary Street, this two-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, twenty-over-one wood-sash windows, exposed molded rafter tails, and an exterior brick chimney in the left (east) gable. The house has a one-light-over-two-panel door with an eight-light transom that is sheltered by a wide, hip-roofed porch on square columns. There is an eight-over-eight window centered on the second floor above the entrance. An exterior metal fire stair accesses a gable-end entrance on the right (west) elevation and there is a one-story, shed-roofed wing at the right rear (southwest) with a one-story, shed-roofed screened porch beyond it. The house appears on the 1915 Sanborn map, the earliest to cover this part of town.

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