Two story frame with weatherboard siding. Gable roof with side shed dormers and asphalt shingle covering. One story full front porch with concrete floor, replacement metal columns. Three over one and one over one double hung windows, with paired casements on second story front elevation. Interior central brick chimney. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan.

Applicant proposes to remove two windows, one on the rear elevation and one unoriginal window on an addition at the rear of the building; neither window is readily visible from the street, with the only original window being completely hidden on the rear elevation. Both are desirable to increase the efficiency of the interior floor plan. (See Windows, pg. 15, Design Guidelines)
