The full width flat roof front porch has four replacement wood posts forming equal bays. There is a simple wood picket railing between posts and at the wood stair to the porch. The east four bay elevation has typical windows aligned between floors and equally spaced except for a slightly greater space between the first and second stacks from the front corner. There is a small chimney centered on the ridge about a third of the way back from the front.
