"This handsome, two story, red brick house is a modest example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It has a low pitched hipped roof, with shed roofed dormer, covered in red clay tile, a feature also seen on the single bay, one front story porch. The façade is three bays wide with a central entrance flanked by sidelights. Decorative cornice brackets support the overhanging eaves. There is a one-story porch on the east elevation. A square brick garage with medium pitched hipped roof sits on the back of the property and is the same style as the home." ~ NRHP Nomination Form

"Due to the difficulty involved in maintgining the red tile roof, Mr.
Elattner was considering rdplacing tile with a conventional roof, Fall

the integrity of the architecture.
