1903
Architect/Builder: unknown

In 1903, the third residence for the superintendent's use was erected at a cost of $3,500. The house is a vernacular rectangle with elements of the Foursquare. It is built of load bearing brick with brick foundation. The house has a high hip roof with a hip roofed dormer extending from the east roof slope. One over one windows throughout have voussoir headers and stone sills. Windows on the first floor have segmental upper sash with arched voussoirs, while those on the second floor have plain upper sash and flat voussoirs. There are five bays on the primary facade and three on the sides. The left and center bays have single leaf doors with transoms. The three remaining bays have windows. A raised porch with square balustrade and corner and center posts appears to be an alteration. There is no building permit record for the porch, but since the porch roof cuts across the window headers, it appears to be a later addition. The porch is reached by a rather wide set of wooden stairs with balustrade matching that of the porch proper.
