HOUSE
pre-1915
NR nomination: One-story frame dwelling with clipped-gable roof and dormers. It features a single interior chimney and a full-length shed porch with bungalow supports.

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

2015 Survey Update: The one-and-a-half-story, clipped-side-gabled cottage is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, two-over-two wood-sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. The house has two, clipped-gabled dormers on the façade, each with a single window and exposed rafter tails. There is an entrance on the far right (west) end of the façade that is sheltered by a full-width, engaged, shed-roofed porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers with a replacement railing. The porch wraps around the left (east) elevation, where it has been enclosed and is accessed by a one-light-over-two-panel door with sidelight. A full-width gabled wing at the rear has a ridge slightly higher than the main roofline. There is a two-story, clipped-gabled wing extending from the right elevation of the rear wing and a one-story, shed-roofed bay with vinyl siding to its right.
