HOUSE
Late 20th century
1993 Survey: brick-veneered ranch house.

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

2015 survey notes: The one-story, side-gabled Ranch house is five bays wide and double-pile. It features a painted brick veneer, six-over-nine wood-sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. Four-panel doors to the house and garage are sheltered by an engaged, shed-roofed porch supported by square posts. A tripartite window to the left (west) of the entrance is a six-over-nine window flanked by four-over-six windows. An attached garage on the left end of the façade has an original overhead wood door. An entrance on the left elevation is sheltered by a shed porch on square posts and covered by a louvered wood door. A later, shed-roofed addition at the right rear (northeast) has weatherboard sheathing, a twelve-light picture window flanked by six-over-six windows on the left elevation, and a projecting bay window on the north elevation. County tax records date the building to 1960. Were the NRHD updated, the house would likely be contributing.
