One story full front porch with replacement aluminum round fluted columns, tongue and groove floor. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Added exterior two story stair on north elevation.

This building has been used as rental housing for many years, and has suffered a fire. Resulting damage includes missing siding and windows, altered doors, very little interior finishes, and the need to rebuild the roof to repair fire damage. The proposed changes will return the building to an appearance that contributes to the Fourth & Gill Historic District.
