Description:
This one-and-a-half-story Tudor Revival style house has an L-shaped plan that is four bays wide and two bays deep. The design features three steeply pitched projecting cross gables of different heights. At the second bay from the west end, the tallest front gable projects slightly and features brick facing and rough-cut stone quoins, effectively distinguishing the primary entrance. The two shorter cross gables flank the tallest one and contain paired six-over-six light double-hung sash windows with flat board trim. A side-gabled extension of the front roof slope forms a faux porte-cochere with round-arched openings forming a secondary entrance porch. Additional character-defining features include stucco cladding on the remaining exterior walls, the keystone arch with soldier brick trim surrounding the entrance, wide eaves with exposed rafter tails, and a broad exterior brick chimney at the west elevation.
Environment:
This building is within a residential district characterized by early twentieth century residences. Sidewalks, a narrow easement strip, and steep curbs flank the paved street. A gravel driveway at the east end of the house leads to the original single-car garage.
