Appearance |
This unusual two story residence is suggestive of the Italianate style because of its form which includes a three story corner tower on the northeast corner of the house. The low hipped front porch adds to the Italianate flavor of the house. It has, however, an atypical bellcast roof as does the tower. Windows are one-over-one double hung wooden sash and arched openings in the tower have fixed glass installed. Asbestos shingles obscure the original siding. This house is noteworthy in its own right but also contributes to the historic streetscape. |
