NRHP Nomination Form"The two-story modified square plan house has symmetrically balanced windows and center door, a full-height entry porch with lower wrap porch, composite columns, balustrades, and brick and wood exterior finishes. The interior features high ceilings, a center hall and staircase, large rooms, balcony and porch spaces, and an additional large hall nmning laterally across the second floor.
The north or primary elevation has a projecting entry supported by four composite columns. The columns most closely resemble the Ionic order, but with volutes that radiate 45 degrees from the primary plane, they are more exactly termed Scamozzi order.
The siding is clapboard, with a headboard soffit that slopes gently from the house toward the front of the wooden porch. The hanging light fixtures also appear to be historic. Atop the projecting entry, an attic dormer provides access to a balcony on top of the roof, which has a wooden balustrade.
. A widow's walk and wooden balustrade sit atop the hipped roof."
