| Appearance |
| This large Craftsman house has a side gable form, with a large gabled bay in the center of the main facae, flanked by two gabled dormers. The gable ends all have prominent brackets and the large gable ends and the bay have extensive stickwork. The bay has a very large multipaned window with a window box in front of it. Other windows are six-light casements, mostly in groups of four. A bracketed belt course separates the two stories. Cladding is bands of shingles. |
