HOUSE
pre-1932
NR nomination: One-story frame house with side-gabled roof and front-facing cross-gable. Original front porch has been closed in.

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

2015 Survey Update: The house features a three-bay-wide, side-gabled form with a projecting, front-gabled wing centered on the façade. It has German-profile weatherboards, six-over-six wood-sash windows, faux half-timbering in the gables, and an interior brick chimney. The front-gabled wing has been altered with the enclosure of a front porch before 1992 and features vertical wood sheathing above a brick knee wall and grouped diamond-paned casement windows on the façade. The entrance, on the left (south) elevation of this wing, is a six-panel door accessed by an uncovered brick stoop with an eight-over-eight window to its right (east). There is a side-gabled wing projecting from the right (north) elevation and a shed-roofed wing at the rear. Beyond the shed-roofed wing is a shed-roofed sunroom with grouped one-over-one windows on a weatherboard-covered knee wall. The site slopes to the rear to reveal a basement-level apartment below the sunroom with plain siding and grouped windows. Were the NRHD to be updated, the house would likely be considered noncontributing.
