HOUSE
c. 1926, c. 1980
This two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house is five bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, pedimented gables, and an exterior brick chimney in the right (south) elevation. A six-panel door, centered on the façade, has four-light-over-one-panel sidelights and a blind fanlight. It is sheltered by a front-gabled porch with an arched ceiling supported by columns. A one-story, hip-roofed porch on the right elevation was enclosed between 1974 and 1992 and has grouped six-over-six windows. A one-story, hip-roofed porch on the left (north) elevation is supported by columns and has been enclosed with screens at the front and plain weatherboards at the rear. A shed-roofed dormer extends across the rear elevation and there is a one-story, hip-roofed enclosed porch at the left rear (northeast). County tax records date the building to 1926. The house appears on the 1932 Sanborn map.

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