NRHP Nomination Form"The house faces east with a circular drive to its north connecting to Fourth Street. The east elevation is approximately 44 feet in length. From south to north along this elevation the house presents a side-gabled form with a prominent cross gable, a peaked entry, a tall chimney, and grouped windows from south to north.
The first floor features an arched window centered in the cross gable, flanked by a pair of 4-over-4 double hung windows on either side. A smaller arched window on the second floor and rectangular basement windows align with the arched central window. The basement windows are paired and are both divided into three lights. Sills below the second and first floor windows are made of stone.
The peaked entry has a steeper pitch than the cross gable. The door and entry display a rounded top. A second story window is identical to that on the cross gable, and is aligned above the entry. Six cement steps lead to a cement porch, which is obscured from the public view by a brick wall with stone cap. Low brick walls with stone coping flank the stairs. The chimney reaches a height of more than twenty feet, and extends above the roofline.
A wrought-iron "N" is attached to the upper section of the chimney. The north end of the east elevation features two vertical eight-light windows flanked by 4-over-4 double hung windows. The top of the brick wall aligns with the bottom of the vertical windows. A dormer window extends from the roof, nearly identical to the others in the second floor though aligned slightly higher.
Red brick forms the house veneer, and is laid in a running bond pattern, with soldier courses at the top of the first floor and basement windows, and at the foundation line. The brick is also laid in circular patterns that trace the semicircular window and door."
