| Appearance |
| This is a variation of the traditional one & 1/2 story gable front vernacular house type. It has the typical asymmetrical entrance but it is sheltered by a gable roof partial width porch. It is a simple house distinguished by harlequin pattern leaded glass in decorative second floor windows and knee braces and exaggerated rafter ends under the eaves of the house and porch. First floor façade windows have been altered. There is a gable dormer to the north and an exterior brick chimney on the northern façade. |
