HOUSE
1915-1925
NR nomination: One-story bungalow with side-gabled roof, shed dormer, paired windows and shed porch.

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

2015 Survey Update: The large, Craftsman-style bungalow is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards and six-over-one, Craftsman-style wood-sash windows, generally paired. The replacement French door, centered on the façade, has five-light sidelights and is sheltered by a full-width, engaged, shed-roofed porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers. An original matchstick railing has been removed. A shed-roofed dormer, centered on the façade, has six-light Craftsman-style windows and knee brackets. There are paired windows in the right (west) gable, an entrance accessed by an exterior stair in the left (east) gable, and wood shingles at the top part of each gable. A similar shed-roofed dormer is on the rear roof slope. A full-width, shed-roofed wing at the rear has a fixed window on its left elevation. County tax records date the building to 1922.
