Setting

Description

The property contains a 2-story, 2-bay vernacular house facing south, with a small rear addition. The house has a front end gabled orientation; the roof features vinyl eaves. The frame walls are clad with aluminum siding. Fenestration consists of replacement 1x1 double hung sash windows, spaced slightly asymmetrically. The main (south) elevation has two bays of windows on the two main levels below a small centered 1x1 attic window; windows feature inoperable shutters. The entrance is located near the southwest corner of the main elevation; it appears to be an original French door with multiple inset lights. East of the door is a paired 6x1 window. The front porch extends along most of the main elevation; it has a hipped roof clad with asphalt shingles and supported by iron posts. The side walls feature two bays of windows, not spaced symmetrically. The stucco-clad foundation features horizontal basement windows. The rear addition is a 1-story section with a shed roof, aluminum walls, and a concrete foundation.
