APARTMENT BUILDING
1932-1948
NR nomination: Two-story frame and brick-veneered house with side-gabled roof and steel casement windows.

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

2015 Survey Update: This gambrel-roofed, Dutch Colonial Revival-style house is three bays wide and triple-pile with brick veneer at the first floor, full gable returns, and asbestos siding in the gables and on the nearly-full-width shed-roofed dormers. The entrance, a four-light-over-four-panel door, is centered on the façade and has a classical surround with fluted pilasters. The house has metal casement windows throughout, an interior brick chimney, and appears to have been constructed as four separate units. There is a low stone wall with stone piers at the sidewalk.
