Description: 
This is a 2-story, 2-bay, asphalt shingled residence with a cross-gabled roof. There is a 2-story bay on the east side of the house. An open porch spans the front façade. Its roof is supported by classical columns. The balustrade is made up of square balusters. Most windows are 1/1 double-hung sash. There is a cottage window, with diamond transom, adjacent to the front door. Sanborn maps indicate a change in shape between 1904 and 1910, which suggests this may be a replacement.
