HOUSE
1915-1925
NR nomination: One-story frame dwelling with side-gabled roof, interior chimney and partially engaged front porch.

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

2015 Survey Update: Recently damaged by fire, this one-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and double-pile with German-profile weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, paired on the façade, and an interior brick chimney. The six-light-over-two-panel door, centered on the façade, is sheltered by a full-width, engaged, shed-roofed porch supported by square columns. There is a matchstick railing on the right (west) end of the porch and the left (east) end of the porch is fully enclosed. There is a projecting, shed-roofed bay on the left elevation with grouped windows on its left elevation. A gabled ell at the left rear (southeast) has been destroyed by fire with only the brick foundation remaining. Remnants of a brick carport beyond the rear ell also remain. There is a low stone wall across the front of the property and along Brookside Drive to the west of the property.
