HOUSE
1949-1960
NR nomination: One-story brick-veneered house with side-gabled roof, gabled dormers and cross-gable.

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

2015 Survey Update: The painted-brick house is four bays wide with a projecting, front-gabled bay on the right (west) end of the façade, with partial cornice returnes and a round-arched vent in the gable. Original picture windows flanked by double-hung windows have been replaced with groups of three vinyl windows in the original openings. Two gabled dormers on the façade each have vinyl siding and single vinyl windows. A replacement door is accessed by an uncovered terrace and is flanked by original integrated brick planters. An exterior stair has been added on the left (east) elevation since the nomination, and leads to an entrance in the left gable. An original one-story-with-basement ell at the right rear (southwest) has been enlarged to a two-story ell with a gabled wall dormer on its west elevation, and an enclosed shed-roofed porch at the left rear (southeast). The site slopes to the rear to reveal a basement below these rear wings. There are currently four apartments in the building.
