Site Info

One and one-half story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, asphalt shingle roof covering, and gabled attic dormers. Two over one and two over two double hung windows. One story full front porch with square wood columns. Two interior offset brick chimneys. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Projecting bays on east and west elevations.

The current replacement windows were installed in error; the Pella Architect series windows are the most similar to the original wood windows, which were deteriorated. The remaining work items are in keeping with the architectural design of the porch railing, in the case of the front steps, and are restoring original architectural features in the case of the rear porch enclosure being removed.
