ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
This is a Colonial Revival style house set sideways on its lot to take advantage of the southern exposure and to gain space on
its narrow lot. The house is two-and-a-half stories in height and the main block is approximately five bays wide. The roof
extends on the rear or north to first story level for a Colonial saltbox profile. There is an added wing on the east end of the south
façade and a partially enclosed shed roofed porch that covers the center entry. The shingle-sided house has a square bay
window on its west elevation and dormers on the north side of the roof at second story and attic levels.
