HOUSE
1925-1932
NR nomination: One-story frame house with front-gabled roof and interior chimney. Craftsman style influence is exhibited by the triangular knee braces on gable end. Colonial Revival-style windows added.

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

2015 Survey Update: The one-story, front-gabled house is three bays wide and four-pile with German-profile weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, knee brackets in the gables, an interior brick chimney, and an exterior brick chimney on the left (south) elevation. The façade features a near-full-width, hip-roofed porch that has been enclosed with weatherboards. The porch, and the front gable, feature tripartite windows with two-over-two windows flanking a central six-over-six window. The nine-light-over-two-panel door, centered on the enclosed porch, has three-light-over-one-panel sidelights. There is a nine-light-over-two-panel door on the right elevation and a wide, gabled addition at the rear that is three bays deep and matches the main structure in finishes. A brick retaining wall extends across the front of the property. County tax records date the building to 1932.
