This local interpretation of the Italienate style is a low hipped rectangular box with a bracketed eave. It is characterized by a full height, inset corner porch and a hipped roof bay window; paneled beneath the slender windows and bracketed at the eave.

This house was moved in ca. 1985 to prevent its demolition.
