Description

The house is located in the eastern half of a row of four Bungalows on the north side of Birch Avenue. Key features of the house include its asymmetrical gable and its dormer.

The 1.5- story, 3-bay Bungalow faces south. Its end-gabled roof is clad with asphalt shingles and features an off-center brick chimney near the center of the ridge. A shed-roofed dormer on the front slope of the roof has two 2x2 windows. The roof slope on the main elevation extends over an incised porch that has been enclosed. The walls of the house are clad with vinyl siding.

History

The row of Bungalows (originally five) was constructed c. 1920. Historic maps indicate that the property was vacant as late as 1918. The first indication of the house is the historic aerial of 1940, which shows the row in place.
