HOUSE
c. 1936
This two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house is five bays wide and double-pile with a brick veneer, partial cornice returns, and an exterior brick chimney on the left (north) elevation. It has six-over-six wood-sash windows throughout with cast stone sills and soldier-course lintels. Centered on the façade, the six-panel door has eight-light-over-one-panel side-lights, a three-part transom, and a classical surround with a pediment supported by pilasters. A one-story, hip-roofed wing on the left elevation was constructed after 1949, likely as a porch, and is enclosed with vinyl windows on a weatherboard-covered knee wall. In the left gable end, four-light casement windows with two-light transoms flank the chimney. A two-story, gabled brick wing projects from the rear (east) and from it, extending to the south, a one-story gabled frame hyphen connects to a one-story, side-gabled garage with plain weatherboards, garage doors on the east elevation, and six-light casement windows on the west and south elevations. County tax records date the building to 1936 and Sanborn maps confirm that the house was constructed between 1932 and 1949.

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