ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
This is a two-and-a-half story Queen Anne style home with a pyramidal roof that has front and side gables. The northwest
elevation of the house also has a hipped roof dormer. The front gable with a spandrel wall caps a two-story, three-sided bay at
the southwest corner. Decorative shingling ornaments the gable field as well as the band that separates the first and second
stories of the three-sided bay, adding visual interest to the façade. There is a one-story porch with front gable roof that wraps
around to the southeastern elevation of the home. The porch has turned posts, spindle frieze, and a balustrade of turned
balusters. The porch’s pedimented gable also features the same decorative shingling. Off the northeastern elevation of the home
is a two-and-a-half story ell. On the northwest corner of the rear ell is a one-story porch with matching turned posts, balustrade
and spindle frieze. The home has a brick chimney on the main block of the house and there is also a chimney near the ridgeline
of the rear ell. All of the windows have been replaced and their original surrounds covered by vinyl. Window sash is now one
over one.
