Description:
This two-story, side-gabled Colonial Revival style house has a rectangular footprint that is three symmetrical bays wide and two bays deep. The main roof slope flares slightly and projects forward to form the full-width porch roof, which is supported by paired and triple square wood posts and shelters the center bay entrance. Defining the remaining bays of the primary facade are original six-over-one light double-hung windows with flat board trim. A full-width dormer extends from the roof ridge and dominates the second story of the primary facade. Additional character-defining features include the wood shingles cladding the exterior walls, the wide wood plank balusters, and the exterior brick chimney at the west elevation.
Environment:
This house is within a residential district characterized by early to mid-twentieth century residences. Sidewalks and shallow curbs flank the paved street. The concrete driveway at the west end of the house leads to a modern two-car garage.
