HOUSE
1925-1932
NR nomination: Two-story, brick-veneered house with side-gabled roof, front-facing cross-gable, asymmetrical façade and grouped windows.

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

2015 Survey Update: The Period Cottage is two bays wide and double-pile with near-full-width shed-roofed dormers on the façade and rear elevation. The brick veneer includes a soldier-course brick watertable and the house has a wide cornice and deep eaves. The house has three-over-one Craftsman-style windows, grouped on the façade, and a single window in a large steeply-pitched gabled on the left (south) end of the façade, all with soldier-course brick lintels and stone sills. The entrance, a replacement door, is located on the right (north) end of the façade and is inset within a projecting, front-gabled bay with an arched brick opening. An uncovered brick terrace extends across the façade. A one-story, flat-roofed wing on the left elevation has grouped windows and a railing at the roofline and partially obscures an exterior brick chimney in the left gable end. A one-story, hip-roofed frame wing at the rear has vinyl siding and a group of casement windows that extends along the left elevation and open to an uncovered porch that shelters a basement-level entrance. An enclosed porch at the right rear (northwest) has grouped windows above a weatherboard-covered knee wall. A low stone wall extends along the street and the driveway on the left side of the house. County tax records date the house to 1928.
