DESCRIPTION

Setting

Description

The original small gabled residence has been almost completely subsumed by a two story flat roof structure across the east and north sides. Its footprint is substantially larger than the small two story gabled house whose gable faced the street. The front elevation has a central door with single one over one windows to either side beneath three paired one over one windows under a shallow stepped parapet. The two story west facade has an irregular pattern of windows.
