This Tudor Revival house was built in 1914. The first identified owners were Joseph Spalding, manager of Harrison Dye Works, and his wife, Drucilla, who lived here from 1925 into the 1960s. For the last twenty years it has been owned by a prominent local architect, Carolyn Geise, and her husband William Jobe. It has been a legal duplex for many years, although this is not apparent on the outside. Some alterations have been made, although they are not very apparent. An enclosed porch on the south elevation was repaired in 1994 and a shed dormer was added on the west elevation in 2000.

| Appearance |
| This handsome Tudor Revival house is rectangular in plan with a cross-gable roof. It has brick cladding on the first floor and stucco with half timbering on the second. The entry is in a recessed porch with brick columns, on the east half of the main (north) facade. The house features the original fir door and the eight light sidelights. To the west is a three-part bay window with transoms. Most other windows are eight-over-one double-hung sash. The large half-timbered front gable is set back from the porch, with large brackets; it has three eight-over-one windows with a pair of small six-light casements in the gable end. The west side of this gable has a small shed dormer. The west elevation also has a small enclosed wood porch with a secondary entry. A shed dormer, a deck and a sunroom have been added on the south (rear) side, but are not visible from the front. |
