Description |
This house was built virtually identical to #18 directly to the east, but
it has had some different alterations. It is a Two story stuccoed three bay
residence on a raised foundation. The main roof gable faces the street. The
three two over two windows are aligned with the same type below and the
entrance door on the right of the raised three bay hip roof enclosed porch.
There is a small square window in the gable end and two chimneys, one at
the midpoint of the ridge, and one on the rear gable end. There is one
window at each level towards the rear of the west elevation, and five on
the east, including a paired second floor window in the center. The rafter
tails are exposed along the east and west walls and at the front porch. |
