| Appearance |
| The most notable feature of this house is the round entry porch with a castellated roof, supported by fluted columns, in the center of the front façade. The house has deep bracketed eaves , a shallow hip roof and stucco cladding, all typical of the Prairie style. The form is somewhat unusual, with the partial second story situated near the center of the first story, rather than to one side. Windows on the front have leaded glass upper panes in a geometric pattern appropriate ot the Prairie style; those on the other elevations are one-over-one or fixed pane. The west elevation has a square suspended bay. A rather dramatic projecting rounded bay with large diamond-paned windows covers the southeast corner. Below this is a two-car garage. |
