This is marker number 41 along the official Medford Historic Trail. The entire street, going north to Route 70 is littered with these historic blue markers. It is a very rich waymarking environment.
This is a grand old 2-1/2 story house with three registers atop the roof. 7 double hung windows are marked with louvered, black shutters. The house is aluminum sided and is reminiscent of colonial-style architecture.
