This house was built in 1904. The cross gable gambrel roof, ganged windows and extensive shingle siding at the upper level suggest the Shingle style. There is a full basement.

There may have been some modifications at the back (view) side of the structure; however, the extent of the alterations cannot easily be viewed from the public right-of-way.
