| Appearance |
| This is a good example of the traditional pyramidal roof folk house. A center chimney rises out of the roof peak and a hipped-roof porch extends the full width of the façade. Victorian decoration includes turned porch posts and a paneled door with a large upper light. Windows are one over one. The faux-brick asphalt siding was installed sometime before 1935. This house and its large corner lot create an edge between residential and commercial (industrial) development. |
