Excerpt from Historical Marker:

"The 1917 Mission-style residence boasts two curvilinear parapets; one defines the central entry to the front porch and the other enhances a large gabled attic dormer with Palladian window. Otherwise, the house design owes much to the Prairie style, with horizontal lines, triple windows, square brick piers, and widely-overhanging eaves."
