Description

The two story shingled building on a raised foundation is now a two family residence with the second entrance in a one story vestibule extension on the north side. The four bay main gabled block has its ridge parallel to John Street. The one over one windows (replacements) are laid out in two groupings with a slightly greater spacing between the two center units. The transomed original front entrance is on the right side of a concrete porch with ornamental metal columns supporting the shallow hip roof. The one story extension off the rear protrudes past the two story block on the south side wrapping the corner for half the depth of that block. The side elevation windows are irregular.
