DUPLEX
1989
Replacing two earlier homes on the site, this one-story, side-gabled duplex was constructed in 1989. The building is five bays wide and double-pile with one-story gabled wings at the right rear (northwest) and left rear (northeast). The building has plain weatherboards, fixed windows with transoms on the façade, sliding glass doors on the side elevations, and fixed windows in the gables that follow the line of the roof. Entrances at the third and fifth bays are sheltered by a shed-roofed porch supported by chamfered posts with a spindle frieze. The middle bay of the porch is enclosed. The building has two interior brick chimneys, three skylights and solar panels on the façade, and multiple skylights on the rear gables, each of which also has a projecting bay window on its façade. There is a wide, brick-paved circular driveway at the front. County tax records date the building to 1989.

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