|
|
This house is significant as an intact example of a Craftsman bungalow. It is one of the best examples of a working-class bungalow in the area. The architect and/or builder are unknown. It was owned and occupied by J. C. Pennock and his wife Lois H. Pennock from 1929-37. J. C. Pennock was a repairman for the PT&T Co. The house changed hands frequently thereafter. A similar building next door was also built at the same time.

| Appearance |
| This one story Craftsman Bungalow was built in 1918 and is sited facing west on its lot. The house has a low-pitched gabled roof, facing the street, with wide overhanging eaves. The shingle siding is original and remains intact on all elevations. The gables have a peaked and flared roofline. The front porch is partial width with a roof that is supported by sloping columns above brick piers. The porch has been altered slightly; the steps have been moved from the front of the porch to the north side of the porch. To the north of the front entrance there is a row of three double-hung windows with decoratively patterned upper sashes. To the south of the front entrance there is a single fixed window with a decorative upper sash. The decorative sash can be seen on many of the other windows on the side and back elevations. |
