Setting

Description

This house began as a one story "English cottage" with a side entry through a one story gabled pavilion centered on the north facade. The tall brick chimney that has been raised in the re-entrant corner supports this premise. The street facing gable end has a triple six over six double hung window assembly, while the side entry is flanked by double units. A two story shallower pitched roof addition partially envelops the house on the east side overlapping on the other side with a slight setback to suggest a shed dormer. The addition has paired six over six double hung windows. The entire building is clad in wide, textured machine made shingles.
