HOUSE
1932-1948
NR nomination: One-story side-gabled frame dwelling with asymmetrical facade and front uncoursed stone chimney.

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

2015 Survey Update: This one-story, side-gabled Period Cottage is four bays wide and double-pile with a shed-roofed side wing on the right (east) elevation, and a fieldstone chimney on the façade, flanked by windows. The house has a stone foundation, plain weatherboards, and six-over-six wood-sash windows throughout. The nine-light-over-two-panel front door opens to an uncovered concrete terrace and is sheltered by a small front gable on knee-brackets. The addition on the right elevation features six-light metal storm windows, and there are single six-over-six windows in each gable. A modern wooden deck extends from the right rear (northeast) of the home. County tax records date the house to 1932.

1932-1948
One-story, front-gabled, frame shed with plain weatherboards, a metal roof, and an open, front-gabled bay on the left (west) end of the south elevation. Were the NRHD updated, the house would likely be contributing. In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
