HOUSE
1925-1932
NR nomination: One and one-half story bungalow features oversized dormer and full-length, shed-roofed porch.

In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.

2015 Survey Update: The house is three bays wide and triple-pile with molded weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, paired on the façade, and an exterior brick chimney on the left (west) elevation flanked by single windows. The fifteen-light French door has a ten-light sidelight and is sheltered by a near-full-width, engaged shed-roofed porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers with a low brick knee wall between the piers. The wide, shed-roofed dormer, centered on the façade, has partial gable returns and a group of four six-over-six windows. An inset porch at the right rear (northeast) has been enclosed with screens over a weatherboarded knee wall. A projecting shed-roofed bay on the left elevation has a group of three windows and there are paired windows, as well as a single window, in each side gable. County tax records date the building to 1925.
