Site Info

One and one-half story frame with brick veneer wall covering. Side gable roof with asphalt shingle covering and gabled dormers. Double hung one over one windows, with replacement six over six dormer windows. One story full recessed front porch with brick posts on brick balustrade. Projecting one story bay on south elevation. Two brick chimneys one interior offset and one exterior end. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Recessed sidelights at front door.

Dormer window replacement has proven particularly problematic. The windows that were in the front dormers were replacement windows, and were allowed to stand open for a number of years. As a result, they were deteriorated and required replacement. Applicant is using a six over six grid pattern, as appeared in the replacement windows found at the time of designation.
