Description |
Two story stuccoed two bay elongated foursquare twin residence with a hip
roof and central dormer facing the street and matching one facing the
rear (south). There are similar dormers at the mid points of each side
roof. The two one over one windows on the second floor do not align with
the entrance doors below or a large divided picture window in the center
of the first floor. The full width hip roofed porch has five aluminum
supports with metal railings in between that match the railings on the
concrete steps to the concrete porch deck. The west wall has typical
windows stacked near the front corner then three over three on the rear
half of that facade. The rightmost on the second floor is a pair. There
is a chimney 2/3 of the way back on the west side. |
