Description |
This property contains a 2-story residence that originally looked like
its neighbor to the south (though the appearance of both has been altered
somewhat). The end-gabled roof includes a cross-gable aligned with the
north end wall, creating an L-shaped ridge system. The roof is clad with
asphalt shingles and features a small brick chimney near the intersection
of the ridges. The wall surface is stuccoed, with some applied trim
suggesting half timbering in the front gable but also extending across
the main elevation at the second floor level. Fenestration consists of
replacement 1x1 double hung sash windows. The main (west) elevation
features a small attic window in the front gable between exposed, angled
timbering. The second floor exhibits four windows. On the first floor, a
replacement door in the center bay opens below a 3-light transom. North
of the door are two windows below the front gable; south of the door is a
filled-in porch with large plate glass windows. The house has a stuccoed
foundation. The end walls feature two ranks of windows. On the rear of
the building is a 2-story addition.
