This Pyramidal Folk House occupies a corner lot and is four bays across each primary elevation (east and south). The character-defining recessed entrance porch occurs at the southeast corner.

Additional architectural features include: the wide eaves overhang; the rough-cut exposed stone foundation and side walls at the entrance steps; and the secondary entrance at the north end of the east elevation.

History:
This building was built between 1911 and 1923 as a church for the First Church of Christ Scientist. An adjacent dwelling to the west was demolished between 1929 and 1946, when the church still occupied this building. The building is now vacant.

This building has a high degree of architectural integrity, to include overall form and original windows. It is classified as a contributor."
