1985 revision
Matt Cohen, surveyor
An excellent, well-preserved example of an early 20th century, vernacular,
middle class house, this house comes closest in style to the Shingle style,
being dominated by prominent, shingled, gambrel roof gables, and a porch
sheathed like the first floor of the main block and displaying curved
surfaces.
The history of the house is obscure. In 1927 the house was listed as being
vacant.
