| Appearance |
| This is a delightful vernacular interpretation of a one story Queen Anne cottage. It has a basic hipped roof box form elaborated with gable projections to the west and to the north. The projection to the north forms a three-sided bay window with decorative center window, which has leaded glass in the upper light. Other windows are one over one double hung wooden sash. The shallow gable is clad in decorative saw tooth, fish scale and square wooden shingles. The asymmetrical porch is hipped and supported by Classical columns. Handrail is not historic. The front door has sidelights to match the decorative leaded glass window. |
