HOUSE
c. 1950
Oriented to the north, this one-and-a-half-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house is three bays wide and double-pile with two gabled dormers on the façade. The house has wood shingles, six-over-six wood-sash windows, a wide molded cornice, flush eaves, and an interior brick chimney. The entrance, centered on the façade, has a four-light transom and is accessed by an uncovered brick stoop. There is a single window in each gable, in each of the pedimented dormers, and in a shed-roofed dormer on the rear (south) elevation. A gabled screened porch projects from the left (east) elevation. The house does not appear on the 1949 Sanborn map, but is typical of post-World War II construction. A portion of the house may have been constructed earlier as a garage, but if so, has been significantly altered.

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