Setting

Description

The property contains a 2-story, 2-bay vernacular house facing south to Leigh Avenue. The building appears to consist of a front end gabled building with a 2-story addition on the front elevation. The house's front end gabled roof features vinyl clad eaves. The frame walls are clad with vinyl siding. Fenestration consists of replacement windows of varying sizes and shapes, spaced slightly asymmetrically. The south (main) elevation has two paired windows on the second floor and a door and tripartite window on the first floor. The front porch has a shed roof with five thin square posts supporting the outer eaves and connected by a replacement railing. The end walls feature various window arrangements on the two floor levels, arranged asymmetrically with some paired or tripartite window units. The house has a concrete foundation.
