Easy to access on a nice quiet street. It is a private home, so it was easy to enjoy from street. Looked as if some repairs were being done to home. Otherwise, it looked to be in fine condition and the grounds were upkept and in great condition.
I searched for history, and all I could find is the application history
here .
The exterior is essentially a pitched roof cottage. The massing is enlivened through the use
of a heavily proportioned veranda, pent and hip dormers, and protruding bays under separate roofs.
The main (front) veranda features massive brick pillars with vaguely classical capitals and a pergola
style roof. The main entrance is marked by an ornamental parapet. Most of the eaves have exposed
rafter ends and the gables are ornamented with oversized brackets. The siding is roughly cut on a
circular saw and placed so that the kerf marks are in one direction on a given clapboard and in the
opposite direction on the clapboard immediately beneath or above it. Chimneys feature ornamental
corbel tops. There is also a rear kitchen gallery which is largely unornamented.
