HOUSE
c. 1925, 1950s
Located behind 211 Hillsborough Street, this one-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and double-pile with German-profile weatherboards, two-over-two horizontal-pane wood-sash windows, generally grouped, and an interior brick chimney. The nine-light Craftsman-style French door is sheltered by a shed-roofed porch supported by grouped posts with diagonal lattice between the posts and a matchstick railing. There is a 1950s shed-roofed ell at the right rear (northwest) and a screened porch at the left rear (southwest). The house appears on the 1925 Sanborn map and the windows are typical of those installed in the 1950s.

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