"This is a large, clapboard sided, 2-story, L-shaped residence with a gabled roof. The rear ell appears to be a modern addition. An open porch spans the front façade. Its roof is supported by turned posts with brackets. The balustrade is constructed of a combination of panels and short, turned spindles. There is a matching frieze of turned spindles. A second, smaller porch has been constructed in the ell. The windows are 1/1 double-hung sash. 
This double lot was occupied by two houses, #73 and #75 West Green Street. The house that exists today first appeared on the 1898 Sanborn map. It replaced an earlier dwelling. The house at #75 was still in existence in 1929, when it housed the Pride Laundry.
