HOUSE
1932-1948
NR nomination: Two-story brick-veneered house with side-gabled roof and eyebrow dormer. The symmetrical facade, small portico and side wing all suggest the Colonial Revival style of the 1930s and 1940s.

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

2015 Survey Update: The house is three bays wide and double-pile with partial gable returns, a basketweave watertable, and basketweave beltcourse between the first and second floors. The house has eight-over-one wood-sash windows on the first-floor façade and six-over-one wood-sash windows elsewhere, including in each gable. Windows have basketweave lintels and rowlock sills. The one-light-over-one-panel door, centered on the façade, is sheltered by a front-gabled porch with arched ceiling supported by square columns. An eyebrow dormer with multi-light window is centered on the façade and there is an interior brick chimney behind the ridgeline. A one-story, hip-roofed wing on the left (east) elevation has grouped windows and a wood deck at its rear. There is a bay window with copper roof near the rear of the right (west) elevation. County tax records date the building to 1934.
