HOUSE
c. 1920
Distinctive for its large, hand-made brick porch foundation and porch piers, this two-story, hip-roofed house is three bays wide and single-pile. It has plain weatherboards, replacement one-over-one windows, paired on the first-floor façade, and a one-light-over-two-panel door with five-light sidelights. The near-full-width, hip-roofed porch is supported by tapered wood posts on piers made of large, hand-made brick. There is two-story, hip-roofed ell at the right rear (southeast), a two-story, shed-roofed wing to the left (north) of the ell, and a one-story, hip-roofed wing at the left rear (northeast). There are eight-light windows at the basement level and a twelve-over-twelve window on the one-story rear wing. A one-story, shed-roofed porch at the rear is supported by square columns and has a small enclosed storage space at its northeast corner. According to Sanborn maps, the house was constructed between 1915 and 1925.

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