HOUSE
1932-1948
NR nomination: Two-story brick-veneered house. Colonial Revival style features include side-gabled roof, exterior end-chimney, symmetrical facade and front door surround with sidelights and transom. The house is now used by the United Church of Christ as an annex. (The description for this house was listed as 205 Wilson Street in the NR nomination.)

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

2015 Survey Update: The house is three bays wide and double-pile with plain weatherboards, eight-over-eight wood-sash windows, and an exterior brick chimney in the left (north) gable end. The entrance, a six-panel door with four-light-over-one-panel sidelights and an eight-light transom, is centered on the façade and sheltered by a pedimented porch supported by columns with a later wood railing. A wood ramp, constructed after 1992, has been added to the right (south) end of the façade and wraps around the right elevation. Quarter-round windows flank the chimney and there is a half-round window in the right gable. A two-story gabled wing at the right rear (southeast) has one-over-one windows.
