HOUSE
c. 1930
Located behind 404 Hillsborough Street, this one-story, clipped-side-gabled, Craftsman-style house is four bays wide and double-pile. It has plain weatherboards, four-over-one Craftsman-style wood-sash windows, an exterior brick chimney on the façade, and exposed rafter tails throughout. The chimney is flanked by narrow, one-over-one wood-sash windows and, to its right (south), is a replacement front door. To the right of the entrance is a projecting clipped-front-gabled bay with paired windows. A double-pile, clipped-gabled wing projects from the right elevation, flush with the façade. A fifteen-light French door on the left (north) elevation is sheltered by a shed roof on large knee brackets. A clipped-gabled screened porch projects from the rear (east) and is flanked by basement-level, shed-roofed wings. According to Sanborn maps, the house was constructed between 1925 and 1932.

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