This house retains enough integrity to offer us information about the Queen Anne style as intepreted in South Park. It and its setting contribute to the pastoral streetscape and they are significant for their associations with the small farming and orchard activities that characterize early South Park. William L.

This house has a hipped, three sided bay to the front and a shed roof porch to the north. The porch roof is created by an interesting extension of the steeply piteched gable roof. Asbestos shingles cover the original narrow beveled siding.
