Description:
This one-and-a-half-story side-gabled bungalow has a rectangular footprint that is three symmetrical bays wide and three bays deep. The front roof slope extends to form the full-width porch's roof, which is supported by slender, non-original square wood posts and shelters the center bay entrance. Defining the other bays are original, paired three-over-one light double-hung wood sash windows with flat board trim. A large gable-front dormer projects from the front roof slope and contains two pairs of small three-over-one light double-hung wood sash windows. Additional character-defining features include wide eaves with exposed rafter tails, wide wood clapboards, and a tripartite bay window with a gable roof on the east 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 paved driveway leads to a garage with three vehicular bays at the rear of the lot.
