| Appearance |
| This one story vernacular house, built facing Columbia Park, is of wood frame construction and is supported by a concrete foundation. The house has a rectangular plan and a hipped roof with an offset cross gable front. The house is clad in running stretcher brick veneer and vertical wood siding in the front gable end. The fenestration on the front elevation consists of a one-over-one double hung windows located below the front gable, and two three light fixed pane windows that flank the inset front entrance. The original windows, some with decorative upper sashes, have been replaced with 1940s windows and modern vinyl windows. Originally, the house had a cut away front porch, which has since been partially enclosed. A concrete block retaining wall is located on the side of the house facing the park. A detached non-historic non-contributing garage is located directly behind the Rosby – Garrison House. |
