HOUSE
pre-1932
NR nomination: One-and-a-half-story bungalow with gabled dormer, interior chimneys and engaged front porch.

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

2015 Survey Update: The bungalow features aluminum siding, replacement nine-over-one windows, paired four-over-one windows in the front-gabled dormer, two interior brick chimneys, and an exterior brick chimney on the right (west) elevation. The one-light-over-one-panel door, centered on the façade, is sheltered by a full-width, engaged, shed-roofed porch supported by tapered posts on brick piers with a replacement railing. A one-story, projecting, shed-roofed bay on the left (east) elevation has a group of three six-over-one windows. The house has been enlarged with a one-story, shed-roofed wing at the right rear (southwest). A one-story, flat-roofed sunroom on the left elevation has grouped one-over-one windows. County tax records date the building to 1920.

GARAGE
pre-1932
One-story front-gabled frame garage with German-profile weatherboards and a two-car-wide, overhead door on the north elevation. Is likely newer than the 1930s, perhaps from the 1960s. In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.
