| Appearance |
| This house is an eccentric variation of the traditional gable front vernacular house type. It has a front facing gambrel roof with an offset gambrel projection to the front. The second level is covered in wooden shingles as is the inset corner porch. A decorative oval window is located above the porch but the most unusual feature of the house is the triangular 'eyebrow' in each gambrel peak. |
