HOUSE
1932-1948
NR nomination: One-story brick-veneered house with side-gabled roof and interior chimney.

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

2015 Survey Update: The Period Cottage is three bays wide and double-pile with six-over-six windows with soldier-course brick lintels and brick sills. The entrance is centered on the façade and located within a projecting, asymmetrical front-gabled entrance bay with an arched brick opening and catslide roof. The door itself is an arched batten door with four lights. A decorative brick chimney is located to the left (west) of the entrance bay and there is an interior brick chimney as well. To the right (east) of the entrance bay, on the right end of the façade, is a front-gabled porch with weatherboards in the gable, which is supported by square posts with arched braces. There are paired windows in each gable and an entrance on the right elevation is sheltered by a small gabled roof on curved brackets. A one-story, hip-roofed frame wing with plain weatherboards extends from the rear (north) elevation. County tax records date the building to 1939.
