One-story craftsman with replacement vinyl siding and a brick foundation. Front gable over small porch.

The property was significantly damaged by fire on April 17, 2018. The applicant had Corum Engineering assess the structural integrity of the one-story house on October 2018. According to the report, the fire structurally compromised the foundation of the home. The report noted that the main girder beams, floor joists, walls and ceilings have significant fire-damage, beyond repair. In addition, the fire comromised the roof framing of the home. Corum Engineering recommends removing the entire structure and rebuilding from the ground up.
