HOUSE
c. 1930, 1960s, 1990s
Constructed as a two-story, front-gabled house with a one-story, side-gabled wing on the right (east) elevation, this house was enlarged and remodeled in the 1960s. The house is currently a two-story, gable-and-wing house that is four bays wide and double-pile. It has plain weatherboards, replacing asbestos siding, six-over-six wood-sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. A one-story, hip-roofed porch extends across the façade, wrapping around the projecting two-story wing. The porch was enclosed in the 1960s and features siding, six-over-six wood-sash windows, and a six-panel door with an eight-light sidelight. The house was remodeled again after 1992, at which point the weatherboards were installed, the foundation covered with stucco, and a two-story, garage wing added to the right elevation. A one-story, side-gabled wing has also been added to the left (west) elevation. There is a low stone wall and wood fence at the street. The house appears on the 1932 and 1949 Sanborn maps as a two-story house with one-story wing on the right elevation. The wing’s second floor was added and the porch enclosed before 1974.

IIn the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
