This is a good example of the Georgian Revival style, which was very popular on Queen Anne in the 1920s. It was built in 1927, but the original owner and builder are not known. William M. Smith, a marine surveyor for Lloyd’s Register, owned it from 1937 until 1949, when it was purchased by Earl Waterman. The current owners, Murray and Betty Ferguson, have lived here since 1960.

| Appearance |
| This is a good, relatively simple, example of the Georgian Revival style, with a side gable roof, a symmetrical façade and notable leaded beveled glass. Cladding is brick in varied shades of brown and red, with dark gray tile on the roof. All windows except the front picture windows have leaded beveled glass. The prominent entry portico has a flat roof with modillions, supported by two brick-clad square columns. Above the portico a group of three casement windows open onto a small deck with a wrought iron balustrade. A single gabled dormer is set into the center of the eave, with a small arched window. The oak door is flanked by two small one-over-one double-hung windows and two large picture windows. The second floor has two groups of three windows. The center gable has a small round louvered vent. Windows on other elevations have a one-over-one configuration. All windows have cast concrete sills and lintels, covered with white stucco; the water table is also stucco. There is an external brick chimney on both the east and west elevations. The house sits high above the street with a rockery in front. |
