This detached two-and-one-half story single-family residence has a rectangular
plan with a hip-roofed enclosed front porch across the front. The one-bay facade I
is asymmetrical and consists of an off=center front entrance with fixed and 1/1
leaded glass double
windows. The windows in the upper 2 sotry of the facade I
suggest the Palladian. The frame construction is finished in metal siding and
rests on a rubble foundation. The gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles
and features shed-roofed dormers flanking a gable roof extension to the side.
There is a central metal stovepipe. The axis of the roof is perpendicular to
the street and features complete returning eaves. Outbuildings include a
garage of wood.
