| Appearance |
| An altered, however partly intact, example of the gable-front and wing vernacular house type. This was a flexible domestic plan type popularly constructed throughout the American West during the later half of the 19th C and the early decades of the 20th C. This particular residence exhibits features derived from popular late 19th c. high stylistic architecture (Colonial Revival). Distinctive design features and intact historic building fabric include: a tall narrow one & ½ story building form accentuated by a medium pitch roof with prominent gable-end returns, front bay window, tall, narrow windows openings, and a partly intact rear-side (open) porch. The entire house is clad with brick-pattern asphalt siding that appears to have been applied over the original cedar clapboards. The original open front porch, situated at the juncture of the two wings, is fully enclosed. Additional investigation is necessary to determine if portions of the original porch maybe extant within the interior space. All of the original wooden, double-hung (1/1) window sash appears to have been removed and replaced with modern aluminum or vinyl products. The house was remodeled c. 1919 at which time the concrete basement with garage and concrete entry stairs were most likely added. |
